Argentina and Colombia square off in the 2021 Copa America semi-final encounter on Wednesday, as both sides aim to book their place in Sunday’s final. The match will be hosted at the Estadio Nacional de Brasilia Mane Garrincha, in Brazil and is scheduled to commence at 06:30 AM IST.
Argentina head into this game on the back of a stunning 3-0 win over Ecuador last Sunday in the quarterfinals. Goals from Rodrigo De Paul, Lautaro Martinez and superstar Lionel Messi ensured victory for Lionel Scaloni’s side.
On the other hand, Colombia defeated Uruguay 0-0 (4-2 p) on penalties the same day in their quarterfinal clash of the tournament. Goalkeeper David Ospina pulled off two superb saves in the shootouts to enter the final four.
Argentina now head into the semi-finals with high hopes to progress to the final, as they aim to lift the Copa America trophy for the 15th time in the nation’s history. While, Colombia who have won this title only once back in 2001, will be keen to add another to their kitty.
