 The winning goal and Colombia's qualification for the Copa América final.

James Rodríguez's cross for Lerma's goal secured the 1-0 victory against Uruguay and Colombia's qualification for the Copa América final, which will be played on Sunday at 9 PM against Argentina. This is the country's first final since 2001, the year they won their only title in the competition.

– A very complicated game, against a tough opponent, but we deserved to be in the final. For me, it's almost 13 years here wanting this – said the captain, visibly emotional about the qualification. The player, who scored a penalty against Panama, reached six assists in the Copa América. This is the best mark since 2011 when statistics began to be recorded, surpassing Messi's five assists in the 2021 triumph.

James equaled Alex, who also provided six assists during the 2004 Copa América, when Brazil won the tournament.

Also very important in the campaign, striker Luis Díaz became emotional when talking about James, a player who peaked in the 2014 World Cup and faced many difficult moments in the last decade. Currently at São Paulo, he has played little for the club since last season.

– James knows that since I joined the national team, he has always been my idol. Both he and Falcao, players I admired since I was young. Sharing the team with them has always been a source of pride. I always say he is a star I admire a lot. He deserves it, this is his Copa, no doubt.

– We are seeing James at his best. We know what he went through, what he suffered. Football has these moments, but it gave him a comeback. He has great ability to play, to provide an assist. He deserves it a lot. Beyond the individual, there's the team. But he deserves it. I am proud to have watched him on TV and now to share the field with him and see what he does. I have to enjoy this beautiful moment. And now it's time to rest for what's ahead. More information.    #soccer #goal #goals #goalkeepersaves #goalkeepertraining #soccergoals
