The second semi-final of the Copa America pitted two talented goalkeepers who aren’t always great, but occasionally brilliant. Claudio Bravo of Barcelona and David Ospina of Arsenal were at the opposite ends of the field, but the former came out on top in this interesting duel.

Bravo although had relatively lesser work to do all evening, the Chilean skipper was nonetheless aplomb whenever called into action. His opposite number, Ospina, had an evening to forget. He could have and should have, done much better with both goals as it was quite preventable.

The two custodians started their respective campaigns on a contrasting note as Bravo and Chile were beaten 2-1 by Argentina, whereas Ospina and Colombia won 2-0 over hosts USA. However, by this stage, the roles were reversed.
