00:00It's over, goodnight Charlotte, and hello Miami.
00:09For the first time in 23 years, it's Colombia to the Copa America final.
00:21They'll face Argentina in South Florida on Sunday.
00:25It finishes tonight in Charlotte.
00:27Colombia 1, Uruguay 0.
00:57Big scuffle after the final whistle.
01:08Oh boy.
01:27An incredibly emotional 90 minutes.
01:34It spilled over after the final whistle.
01:40Couldn't see exactly who was involved.
01:42Looks like it's been broken up.
01:44Embraces now.
01:48Darwin Nunez and Luis Diaz.
01:50Liverpool teammates.
01:52Enemies tonight, but friends afterward.
01:56It was Diaz and his side, and those Colombian fans will march on to Miami.
02:17Luis Suarez had a couple chances after coming off the bench,
02:20but couldn't summon any late magic in what could be his last appearance for Uruguay.
02:27They will play in the third place game, of course, on Saturday against Canada.
02:51Looked like there were a couple of Uruguayan players who might have gone up into the stands.
02:55It was difficult to see from where we are.
03:07Colombia celebrate.
03:09How good was he tonight?
03:11Johan Mojica.
03:13Absolutely immense on the left side of that back line.
03:21Gomez Rodriguez brought back into the national side by Nestor Lorenzo.
03:27After he'd been out of the team for a while.
03:30Even though his club career hasn't gone according to plan,
03:34he continues to be a force for Colombia and delivered the right kind of play.
03:39It's been a tough game.
03:41It's been a tough game.
03:43It's been a tough game.
03:45Even though his club career hasn't gone according to plan,
03:48he continues to be a force for Colombia and delivered the winning assist tonight
03:52that puts them into the final for just a third time in their history.
03:55And the first time since they won it all in 2001.
04:08It's cliche to say, look how much it means to them, but I mean, look.
04:15Can you imagine that?
04:16That's the way I expected it to be.
04:20You're looking at a very strong team.
04:21They're with you.
04:22They're with you.
04:23for Uruguay.
04:39Disappointment for Uruguay.
04:41Had a great chance to reach
04:42their first finals since 2011.
04:45Luis Suarez is still hot.
04:50Uruguay had the entire second
04:52half of the season ahead of
04:54Luis Suarez.
04:55He just couldn't make it count.
05:12Still yelling at somebody.
05:14I think that's a Colombian coach
05:16and he's going to have to do it
05:18again.
05:18He's going to have to do it
05:19again.
05:28We'll hope to hear from a player
05:30on both sides.
05:30We will of course see our full
05:32time highlights and stats.
05:36Look at the final bracket on the
05:37road to the final which is now
05:39complete.
