Argentina secured their spot in the final with a convincing win over Canada in the semi-finals. The inclusion of Julian Alvarez and Angel Di Maria in the starting lineup provided a much-needed boost, with Alvarez scoring the decisive goal and Lionel Messi finally getting on the scoresheet. Coach Lionel Scaloni, known for his tactical acumen, has the luxury of a full squad and may tweak his lineup, although sticking with the successful combination seems likely. Colombia's journey to the final was more challenging, overcoming Uruguay 1-0 despite being reduced to ten men early in the match. The absence of Daniel Munoz, who received a red card, and the potential absence of injured midfielder Richard Rios, pose significant challenges for coach Nestor Lorenzo. Despite these setbacks, Colombia's resilience and determination make them a formidable opponent. As both teams prepare for this crucial encounter, fans can expect a gripping contest filled with skill, strategy, and ion, as Argentina and Colombia vie for Copa America supremacy.
Match ends, Argentina 1, Colombia 0.
