Los Cafeteros are undefeated in the tournament.

Colombia and Panama are set to lock horns in the third quarter-final of Copa America 2024. The game is expected to be fierce and challenging with both teams hailing a good run of form in the group stage.

Colombia, the 2001 winners of the competition will surely look to dominate their opponents in this knock-out fixture, riding on Nestor Lorenzo’s tactical acumen. Los Cafeteros drew with the mighty Brazil football team after beating Paraguay and Costa Rica in style in the group stage. The team is currently enjoying a 17-game unbeaten streak.

Panama, on the other hand, have also made headlines in this competition, having beaten a formidable USA side after losing to Uruguay. The Thomas Christiansen-coached team also beat Bolivia in their last group-stage game. This happens to be Panama’s second appearance in the competition, making it into the first eight for the first time.

Kick-Off:

Location: University of Phoenix Stadium, Glendale, Arizona

Form

Colombia (in all competitions): D-W-W-W-W

Panama (in all competitions): W-W-L-L-W

Players to Watch:

Daniel Munoz (Colombia)

The 1.81m right-back has been Colombia’s star-performer in the group stage. Besides performing his defensive duties exceptionally, Munoz has come upfront to take shots and score goals on multiple occasions.

The 28-year-old Crystal Palace player opened the scoring for his nation against Paraguay with a brilliant header. He even scored a right-footed equalizer against the mighty Brazil. Lorenzo will hope his ace side-back shines in the knock-outs too.

Jose Fajardo (Panama)

The 30-year-old striker has already scored two goals in the ongoing competition. His performance against the formidable USA and Bolivia are the reason for Panama’s exceptional run in the tournament.

Fajardo has the ability to pull a number of shots, and Thomas Christiansen will be hoping that some of his shots tear Colombia’s net and make way for his side’s semi-final berth.
