Copa America

The Copa America semi-finals are Monday and Tuesday.  Host country Brazil will face a Peru side which got past Paraguay on penalty kicks last round. Brazil won its quarterfinal match 1-0 over Chile, hanging onto its one goal lead after Manchester City’s Gabriel Jesus was dismissed with a red card at the 48-minute mark. Colombia will meet Argentina in the other semi-final after the Colombians eliminated Uruguay on penalty kicks after a scoreless match. Two assists and a goal by Lionel Messi were all Argentina needed to move past Ecuador 3-0 to set up a semi-final meeting with Colombia. The Copa America final will be Saturday, July 10th.
