Polfinalna tekma med Urugvajem in Kolumbijo je postregla s tekmecem Argentine v velikem finalu južnoameriškega prvenstva. Kolumbijci so povedli v 39. minuti, nato pa so vodstvo zadržali do zadnjega sodnikovega žvižga, čeprav so celoten drugi polčas odigrali z igralcem manj.
Celoten dvoboj je sicer zasenčilo dogajanje po tekmi. Zvezdnik Liverpoola Darwin Nunez se je namreč vpletel v spor na tribunah, stekel med kolumbijske navijače in začel deliti udarce.
Napadalec je posredoval, saj so kolumbijski navijači žalili in s predmeti obmetavali njegovo družino. Na pomoč mu je priskočilo še nekaj soigralcev.

Posredovati je morala policija, na koncu je bilo aretiranih šest navijačev.
Urugvaj je doslej osvojil 15 južnoameriških prvenstev, enako tudi Argentina, ki pa se bo zdaj potegovala za 16. lovoriko. Kolumbija je Copa Americo osvojila enkrat (2001).
Po en naslov ima še Bolivija, po dva Čile, Peru in Paragvaj, devet pa jih je zbrala Brazilija.
