URU vs COL: Uruguay will be looking to assert their dominant form on Colombia in their upcoming Quarter Final clash in the Copa América league.
Uruguay landed on the second spot of Group A at the end of group stage matches thanks to two wins and a draw out of four matches. With a win and a draw out of their four games, Colombia found themselves settled at the third spot of Group B.
Uruguay is walking into this encounter being the favourites after a convincing win against Paraguay in their last game. Manchester United striker Edinson Cavani started after executing a comfortable penalty and rewarded his side with a 1-0 win.
Colombia played tournament giants Brazil in their last game. Colombia was on a roll with an extremely early lead of 1-0 provided by Luis Díaz. However, a late equaliser by Roberto Firmino added life to the game.
Nearly seconds before the end, Neymar provided a beautiful assist to teammate Casemiro who put one in the back of the net to clinch an astonishing win by the barest of margins. A rare sight in Football history to see a winning goal in the 90+10th minute.
