Africa-Press – Eritrea. <\/strong><\/span>James Rodriguez heaped praise on his teammates after 10-man Colombia clinched a 1-0 victory over Uruguay on Wednesday to book a place in the Copa America final.<\/p>\n

Rodriguez provided his sixth assist of the tournament \u2014 a Copa America record \u2014 when his in-swinging cross was headed in by Jefferson Lerma in the 39th minute.<\/p>\n

But the Cafeteros were forced to play the entire second half with 10 men after Daniel Munoz was sent off in first-half stoppage time for a second yellow card offence.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe game got very difficult, but we defended well when we needed to,\u201d Rodriguez told reporters after the match at Bank of America Stadium.<\/p>\n

Colombia, who are undefeated in 28 matches, will meet Argentina in the final at New Jersey\u2019s MetLife Stadium on Sunday.<\/p>\n

\u201cCredit should go to all of our players,\u201d the former Real Madrid midfielder said. \u201cIt wasn\u2019t easy after we went down to 10 men, but we did a phenomenal job to hold on. When you are driven and happy things are a lot easier.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cafeteros will be vying for just their second Copa America title \u2014 and their first since 2001 \u2014 while Argentina aims to win the continental trophy for a 16th time.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe final will be difficult but we are hungry, and that is the most important thing,\u201d Rodriguez said. \u201cI\u2019ve been here [with the national team] for 13 years wanting to achieve this. Now, it is our chance to create history.\u201d<\/p>\n
