While Friday’s quarterfinal at the 2019 Copa America does not involve any of South America’s “glamor” teams — such as Brazil, Argentina, or Uruguay — the match pitting Colombia against Chile has emerged as perhaps the most highly anticipated clash of the quarterfinal round, according to The Associated Press and posted by The News & Observer . Colombia blew through the group stage with a perfect record, including a decisive 2-0 defeat of Lionel Messi’s Argentina in their opener.
In fact, the Colombians kept a clean sheet for all 270 minutes of their group stage play, per Soccerway . Chile, on the other hand, remains the defending champion with wins both in 2015 and in the 2016 Centenario edition of the Copa America. In fact, Chile vanquished Colombia 2-0 in the semifinal of the 2016 competition and will try to do the same thing in a quarterfinal this time around in the match that will live stream from São Paulo.

Chile brings back the same core group that took the team to two straight Copa America titles, including Barcelona midfielder Arturo Vidal and Manchester United winger Alexis Sánchez, who remain the team’s top stars, according to The Bogota Post . But both players and the rest of the players on the team are three years older and have been showing their age, failing to even qualify for last year’s FIFA World Cup in Russia.
The winner of the match not only goes on to meet the winner of Saturday’s Uruguay-Peru quarterfinal match but could be favored to win The Who tournament.
“This is like an anticipated final,” Colombia’s coach Carlos Queiroz said at a Thursday press conference. “We know the importance of a game like this.”
