The former Real Madrid star is having a great Copa America with the Colombian national team.

This morning, the remaining semi-final match of Copa America 2024 officially took place between Uruguay and Colombia.

Despite being underestimated, Colombia surprisingly dominated the first half.

In the 39th minute, they also got the opening goal of the match thanks to Jefferson Lerma’s accurate header.

In the second half, Uruguay completely overwhelmed their opponents when playing with one more player, because Daniel Munoz had to leave the field due to a second yellow card at the end of the first half.

However, coach Marcelo Bielsa’s students still showed complete impasse in penetrating the opponent’s net and had to stop at the semi-finals.

On the other side of the front line, it can be said that James Rodriguez once again contributed greatly to Colombia’s victory.

He was the author of the assist that helped Lerma open the score of the match and continued to have a classy performance.

Data from Fotmob shows that, despite only playing for about 60 minutes, the former Real Madrid star had a total of 3 passes that created scoring opportunities, 5 passes into the final third of the field and 4 accurate crosses.

It is worth noting that in the past 5 matches at Copa America, Rodriguez has contributed to a total of 7 goals for Colombia (1 goal, 6 assists).

According to data from Opta, the 32-year-old midfielder is also the first player in history to have 6 assists in a Copa America.
