Videos Show Uruguay Players Fight With Colombia Fans After Game3 min read
Argentina's semifinal win over Canada on Tuesday -- a routine 2-0 result -- and Colombia-Uruguay could not have been more different.
Colombia took control just before halftime, scoring on a corner in the 39th minute to make it 1-0. But minutes later, Daniel Munoz was sent off with a red card for elbowing Uruguay's Manuel Ugarte just before halftime.
The drama leveled up from there throughout a second half that saw Colombia hold on for a 1-0 win despite playing the entire second half with just 10 men. Ugly scenes ensued after the match, as Uruguay's Darwin Nunez was among the players who scuffled with Colombian fans in the stands.
For now, though, let's focus on the opening lines for Sunday.

We'll have a full preview of Sunday's Copa America final over the weekend, but initial takeaways include: Are Colombia worth a look given these odds and how tight tournament finals typically are? It's hard to count out the Colombians given how well they've played throughout the now-28-match unbeaten run.
Euro 2024 Opening Lines
The Copa America final is not the only must-see match taking place on Sunday. The massive day for soccer fans begins at 3 p.m. ET, when England and Spain meet in the Euro 2024 final on FOX.
Below are the odds as of Thursday morning for what oddsmakers see as a more evenly matched final taking place at Berlin's Olympiastadion.
Euro 2024 Final Early Moneyline Odds
Early Odds to lift Euro 2024 Trophy
We'll cover Spain-England in depth between now and kickoff of Sunday's match, but this looks like a tricky match for bettors, to say the least.
Spain overtook pre-tournament favorites England as the Euro favorite after La Roja's win over Germany in the quarterfinals, but England look awfully tempting at odds currently as long as +250 on the moneyline and +120 to raise the trophy.
