Luis Diaz dazzled with his second goal of the 2024 Copa America, propelling Colombia to a semi-final berth with a comfortable win over Panama. Nestor Lorenzo’s team was cruising with a two-goal lead by the 42nd minute when they were awarded a free kick near midfield.
James Rodriguez’s quick thinking caught Panama off guard. His swift free kick found Diaz, who expertly slipped between two defenders, controlled the ball on his chest, and coolly lobbed it over the onrushing goalkeeper. The goal highlighted Diaz’s sharp instincts and clinical finishing.
Now, Diaz and Colombia will face Uruguay, where he will square off against Liverpool teammate Darwin Nunez in what promises to be an exciting semi-final clash. This showdown adds an extra layer of intrigue as the two Anfield stars battle for a spot in the Copa America final.
