Chicago - Arab Today

Defending champions Chile beat Colombia 2-0 Wednesday in the semi-finals of the Copa America Centenario, to set up a repeat of last year's Copa America final against Argentina. 
Chile, playing without their suspended star midfielder Arturo Vidal, were quick to capitalize on major mistakes by Colombia's defence. Just seven minutes into the match, Juan Cuadrado attempted to clear a cross from Chile's Jose Pedro Fuenzalida with a header, but instead left the ball for Charles Aranguiz to shoot it into the net from very close range. 
Just four minutes after that, Chile's star striker Alexis Sanchez comfortably dribbled a defender inside the box. His long-distance shot was deflected by the post, but the rebound fell to Fuenzalida and the winger made things 2-0. 
The match was suspended for more than two hours at the end of the first half, due to a thunderstorm. It could eventually be completed, although the pitch, with many puddles, hardly contributed to quality play. 
In the 57th minute, to make matters worse for Colombia, midfielder Carlos Sanchez was sent off for a second bookable offence. Argentina beat the host team, the United States, 4-0 in Tuesday's semi-final to qualify for Sunday's final at the MetLife Stadium in East Rutherford, New Jersey. 
In 2015, tournament hosts Chile beat Argentina in the penalty shootout to win the first major football title in their history. Since then, however, Argentina beat Chile 2-1 away in March in the South American qualifiers for the 2018 World Cup, and again 2-0 on June 6, in the group round of the Copa America Centenario.
