| Colombia 0-2 Chile: Copa América – as it happened | |
| (35 minutes later) | |
| 5.18am BST | |
| 05:18 | |
| Well, that was a long night. But Chile are in the final, and they’ll play Argentina on Sunday in a repeat of last year’s final. A shame that the game was delayed for more than two hours by bad weather in Chicago, but Chile were awesome in that opening 15 minutes, and Colombia never recovered. | |
| Thanks for reading – I’m off for a Solero. Night. | |

| Full-time: Colombia 0-2 Chile | |
| Chile are into the final! | |

| 90 min +4: Into the wall. That sums up Colombia’s evening. | |
| 5.14am BST | |
| 05:14 | |
| 90 min +3: Free kick to Colombia 25 yards from goal. Chance for James. | |
| 5.13am BST | |
| 05:13 | |
| 90 min +2: We’re back after that minor delay, but Bravo has the ball. Seconds left. | |

| 90 min +1: Foul on halfway, and Colombia sling it in, but it’s cleared. Now a fan is on the field, and is pursued by security. It’s all a bit tiresome. | |
| 5.10am BST | |
| 05:10 | |
| 90 min: Now James is late on Pulgar. No card, although it probably should have been. Four minutes of stoppage time, but the game’s gone. | |
| 5.09am BST | |
| 05:09 | |
| 88 min: Mark Gonzalez is on for Vargas, and then Murillo goes in late and high on Puch. Bacca is booked, but it seems as though Murillo has escaped. That was naughty from the Colombian defender. | |
| 5.08am BST | |
| 05:08 | |
| 87 min: Now it’s Chile’s turn to look perplexed at a penalty that’s not given. Lovely three-man move involving Puch, Vargas and Alexis, who was clean through, took an extra touch, before being hauled down by Zapata. Referee Aguilar says no penalty. That was possibly even clearer than James’s. | |
| 5.05am BST | |
| 05:05 | |
| 85 min: Aranguiz finds Vargas in space on the left, but his cross is missed by everyone. Silva is then yellow carded as Colombia attempt to counter-attack. | |
| 5.04am BST | 5.04am BST |
| 05:04 | 05:04 |
| 83 min: Chile break, and Alexis runs past two defenders, but Murillo does well to get back and block. Roger Martinez then fouls Aranguiz, and Chile have a free kick. | 83 min: Chile break, and Alexis runs past two defenders, but Murillo does well to get back and block.

| 77 min: Here’s Mark Fritzel: “Considering all the factors, this has been a crackling second half. Still seeing a few splashes now and then. Colombia’s threatened a handful of times since they went down to ten. Hard not to root for them in the face of the uneven calls. They should’ve either had a penalty or kept 11 men. Chile hasn’t slowed down their attack either.” | 77 min: Here’s Mark Fritzel: “Considering all the factors, this has been a crackling second half. Still seeing a few splashes now and then.

| 67 min: Here’s Robert Speed: “The question the ref should ask himself is whether a yellow card was warranted. If yes, and it is a second caution, he’s sent off. Whether he’s already been booked is irrelevant to the decision of whether a second booking is warranted under the laws of the game. By design.” | 67 min: Here’s Robert Speed: “The question the ref should ask himself is whether a yellow card was warranted. If yes, and it is a second caution, he’s sent off.

That seems a huge difference in the interpretation of the rules by the ref.” | 62 min: Here’s Barrett Madden: “I just don’t understand the difference between the contact that wasn’t called a penalty – it’s not even a foul – and the contact that was both whistled for a foul and given a yellow card.

| On second glance, I think that second yellow from Joel Aguilar is absurd. In the context of the game, what’s the point of sending him off? It wasn’t even that bad a foul. The fans have waited around for more than two hours. It’s spoiled the game. | On second glance, I think that second yellow from Joel Aguilar is absurd.

The Colombians were outraged, and they surrounded the ref, but he’d made his decision. You could argue that the ref was within his rights, but was a red card really necessary? A two-hour delay, and within 12 minutes one team is a man down. | 58 min: Well, Sanchez was certainly late on Aranguiz, and he’d already been booked, but was it really that bad?
