Goalkeeper David Ospina was the hero as Colombia beat Uruguay on penalties in Brasilia on Saturday to reach the Copa America semi-finals. Ospina saved two spot-kicks in the shoot-out on the day he earned his 112th Colombian cap, moving clear of the previous national record he shared with the iconic Carlos Valderrama. There was little to report in a drab 0-0 draw over the regulation 90 minutes before the quarter-final tie went straight to penalties. 

Ospina saved from Jose Gimenez and Matias Vina while Colombia scored all four of their penalties. It was a huge disappointment for Uruguay`s star forward pair Edinson Cavani and Luis Suarez, who both converted their spot-kicks but almost certainly have played in their last Copa. It took almost half an hour for either goal to be threatened and when it was -- Duvan Zapata found a yard of space to force a save out of goalkeeper Fernando Muslera -- the Colombia striker was flagged offside. Spaces started to open up and Cavani then lashed wildly wide, but again an assistant`s flag went up.
