Match Stats

The Colombians showcased impressive football in the group stage of the Copa America. In their first match, they secured a narrow 2-1 victory over Paraguay. In the following round, they convincingly defeated Costa Rica 3-0. With six points from two matches, Colombia guaranteed their place in the playoffs ahead of time. Moreover, before the final round of the group stage, they were two points ahead of Brazil, making their head-to-head match decisive for the top spot in the group. The game between these teams was intense, with the pentacampeões scoring first, but Colombia equalized just before halftime. The match ended in a 1-1 draw.


Colombia amassed seven points from three matches, surpassing Brazil, and advanced to the playoffs as the group leaders. In the quarter-finals, they face a relatively manageable opponent, Panama. In the previous Copa America, Colombia reached third place. This time, they have the potential to match or even exceed that achievement.

For Panama, this is only their second Copa America appearance, and they have crafted an incredible story. Panama first participated in the Copa America in 2016 but did not progress past the group stage. However, this time the scenario is quite different. In their opening match of the tournament, Panama lost 1-3 to Uruguay but managed to pull off a surprise afterward. In their second group stage match, Panama achieved a comeback victory over the tournament hosts, the USA, edging closer to the playoffs.


In the final group match, Panama defeated Bolivia 3-1, collected six points, and surpassed the USA by three points to secure a historic Copa America playoff berth from second place. In the quarter-finals, they face a formidable opponent, Colombia. Frankly, Panama’s chances are slim. They have already achieved a surprise, but I doubt they can advance to the semi-finals. Colombia is a much stronger team, currently playing excellent football.


Prediction: Colombia -1.5
