Colombia are aiming to win a second Copa America title but must first get past 15-time winners Uruguay in today\u2019s semi-finals at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, USA. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Los Cafeteros are the in-form team at the tournament, and are on a 27-match unbeaten run in after their dominant 5-0 victory over Panama in the last round.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
They have won all but one of their games at the Copa America so far, drawing 1-1 with Brazil in the other to secure top spot in Group \u2018D\u2019. Colombia have only won the Copa America once before, back in 2001. Uruguay played out a goalless draw with Brazil before prevailing on penalties to book their place in the semi-finals. Despite showing off their free-flowing play early in the group stage, their defensive solidity has pushed them forward in the competition as they have not conceded in any of their last three matches.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Uruguay and Colombia are meeting for the third time in a Copa America semi-final. The first encounter was in 1975, with Los Cafeteros advancing to the final, while in 1995, La Celeste triumphed 2-0 and later claimed the title against Brazil. Colombia are competing in the semi-finals for the seventh time since 1993, but have only reached the final once in that time, when they beat Mexico 1-0 to lift the title in 2001.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
