Colombia advanced to the quarterfinals of the Copa America Centenario with a 2-1 win over 10-man Paraguay on Tuesday.
Captain James Rodriguez scored the match-winner in the first half after Carlos Bacca gave Colombia an early lead at the Rose Bowl in Pasadena, California.
The goal was James’ second of the tournament as he extended his goal-scoring tally for Colombia to 16.
Paraguay reduced the tally in the second half through Victor Ayala, but a red card to Oscar Romero dented their chances of finding an equaliser.
The win means Colombia advances to the last eight of the centenary tournament, while Paraguay must beat the United States in its final Group A fixture to go through to the quarterfinals.
