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.

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.

03:52that 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.

04:39Disappointment 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.
