How to watch as the two sides meet in the quarterfinals of the 2021 Copa America on Saturday, July 3.
After a slow start to the Copa América, Uruguay bounced back to clinch second-place in Group A, yet a tough quarterfinal matchup against Colombia awaits.
Uruguay lost to Argentina and drew with Chile before climbing the table with wins over Bolivia and Paraguay. Manchester United forward Edinson Cavani has scored in each of the last two games and enters the knockouts as the team's top scorer at the tournament.
Colombia has had a tough go of things at the Copa América, going winless in its last three games with a draw against last-place Venezuela and losses to Peru and Brazil. In its last match against Brazil, La Tricolor opened the scoring early thanks to a Luis Díaz bicycle kick before the defense conceded two late goals in the final 12 minutes of the match to Brazil.
