New Delhi: Colombia will look to continue its streak of 28 matches unbeaten as they take on defending COPA America champions Argentina. Both teams are coming to the finals on the back of contrasting match results. While the La Albiceleste are coming after defeating COPA debutants Canada comfortably, the Los Cafeteros are coming on the edge of a 1-0 narrow escape from the prying eyes of Uruguay.

Ranked as World No. 1 in the FIFA rankings, Argentina has enjoyed a lot of success in the USA as they have not lost any game in regulation time since their shocker in the 1994 World Cup. However, head coach Scaloni is not taking any team or situation lightly and remarked that the game against Colombia can turn out to be “extremely tough” for the boys. The game holds a special place in the hearts of the Argentinians as it will be the last match for Di Maria in national colours. However, he may not be the only one and a string of retirements may soon arrive starting with Leo Messi.
On the other hand, Argentina-born Nestor Lorenzo is doing something remarkable with a crop of talented Colombian players under the leadership of James Rodriguez. The 33-year-old who is probably having the best COPA of his career, will look to lift the trophy for only the third time in its history. But there will be some tactical twerks that Lorenzo needs to do with right-back Munoz suspended from the finals.
