Colombia, riding an impressive unbeaten streak, have emerged as strong contenders for the Copa America 2024 title. They face Panama in the quarterfinals in a bid to advance further in the tournament.
After missing out on the 2022 World Cup, Colombia has shown exceptional performance in this competition, reestablishing themselves as formidable South American opponents. The 32-year-old star, James Rodriguez, has been instrumental, leading the tournament with three assists.
On the other hand, Panama faces a tough challenge after surprisingly qualifying for the knockout stage ahead of the United States. Their task becomes even more daunting as they take on the in-form Colombia team.
