A goal from Carlos Bacca in the first half sealed Colombia's win over Jurgen Klinsmann's USA. Two late red cards in the final minutes of the game showed the frustration that was often displayed on the field throughout the game. 

While Colombia did attack well, USA showed a lot of spirit and can be proud of their result in the Copa America. Only thing left in the tourney is the final between Chile and Argentina which we'll have for you LIVE as usual. 

Look out for our notification as we prepare to worship the likes of Lionel Messi, Alexis Sanchez and more early tomorrow morning. 

02:02 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

Colombia win the third place in the Copa America after an almost-cowardly win over the United States. 

02:02 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

Peeep! Peeeep! PEEEEEEEEP! That's it! Full time! 

02:01 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

95' SHOT! Nagbe takes the free-kick but straight at Ospina. Both sides down to 10 men, by the way. 

02:00 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

94' RED CARD! Arias is also sent off for time-wasting right after falling to the ground dramatically. 

01:59 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

93' RED CARD! Orozco is shown a red for pushing down Arias. Stupid move by the American, there. 

01:59 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

93' BOOKING! Arias is booked for a foul on Zardes. 

01:57 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

91' COL have a free-kick as the ref fails to blow the whistle three times when USA players are fouled. Weird. 

01:56 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

90' CHANCE! USA break but COL counter and are caught offside. 

01:55 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

89' James with some incredible faking and rolling around and ankle-holding. All fake...replays say so. 

01:54 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

89' COL still with the ball. 

01:53 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

87' Meanwhile Medina comes on for Celis. 

01:53 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

87' CHANCE! Moreno takes a shot from distance but his effort is off target and USA have a goal-kick. 

01:51 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

85' Celis is now on the ground moments after the ref blew the whistle. More time-wasting by the South American side. 

01:50 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

85' Torres walks onto the pitch and falls down unsportingly. Pathetic behaviour by the midfielder. 

01:49 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

84' Wood was in the box but Nagbe's cross into the box is not connected well and COL break away. 

01:49 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

83' CHANCE! USA have a golden chance to take the lead but stumble in the last moment as COL break. 

01:48 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

82' Nothing from the resulting corner and USA have a goal-kick. 

01:48 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

82' SHOT! Cardona takes on from distance but Howard saves well. 

01:47 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

81' Poor corner by Cardona but COL still have possession and threaten. 

01:46 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

80' COL have a corner thanks to Yedlin. 

01:45 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

79' Darlington Nagbe comes on for Bradley for USA as goal-scorer Bacca makes way for Martinez for COL. 

01:44 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

78' Jones is fouled and USA have a free-kick but first...substitutions! 

01:44 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

78' It's fair to say USA are the more exciting team on the pitch. COL seem too one-directional and 'boring'. 

01:43 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

77' Corner to USA after Yedlin's cross is cleared behind the line. 

01:42 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

76' USA attack in numbers and Jones takes a shot from distance that's blocked! Free-kick now after Bradley is fouled. 

01:41 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

75' Already in the thick of the action, Pulisic puts in a cross but there's no one in the middle to convert the chance. 

01:40 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

73' The winger is simultaneously replaced by Marlos Moreno as 17-year-old sensation Christian Pulisic comes on for Bedoya as the crowd cheers the USA substitution. 

01:39 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

73' BOOKING! Cuadrado is fouled for bringing down Jermaine Jones. 

01:38 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

72' USA sitting a little deeper as COL have put together almost 20-30 passes. 

01:36 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

70' COL with the ball now and they're slowing the game down. 

01:35 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

68' Cuadrado flies into Orozco but the replays show that it was a good one and game resumes. 

01:33 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

67' CHANCE! SHOT! Wood does incredibly well again inside the box but the resulting Dempsey kick is a poor one and COL have a goal-kick. 

01:32 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

66' Bedoya goes down inside the box but the ref waves away the appeals. 

01:31 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

65' USA win the ball inside the midfield and attack.. 

01:30 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

64' Yedlin fouls Fabra but the ref doesn't see the need for a card. 

01:29 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

63' SHOT! Fabra with an effort from inside the box but another second-tier belter from him. Surely he's trying to pick someone out over there. 

01:29 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

63' Could've been 2-0, could've been 1-1. The drama in this game is too damn high! 

01:28 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

01:27 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

61' CROSSBAR! Cuadrado with a lovely chip but his effort hits the crossbar and Howard saves well...kind of. USA have possession. 

01:26 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

60' Bacca tries to release Cuadrado but Yedlin stops him and Howard clears. Premier League for the win. 

01:25 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

59' Wood fouls Arias and the crowd boos the Colombia as he gets back on his feet. 

01:24 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

58' LOL! James thought the ref raised the flag for an offside and is then shocked when its actually for a foul. This game is fun. 

01:23 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

58' James tries to free Bacca again and Howard comes off his line quickly but.....offside! 

01:23 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

57' SHOT! James Rodriguez with an effort from inside the box and is one-on-one with Howard but his effort is soooooooooo wide off target. Yikes. 

01:22 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

56' COL try to get a shot on target from inside the box but Zardes and Jones ensure otherwise. 

01:21 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

01:20 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

54' Fabra gets the ball on the left to put in a cross but instead chooses to pick out the people in the second tier of the stadium with a shot.

53' COL probing with Cuadrado and James.

01:18 (GMT)26 JUN 2016

52' SHOT! Wood collects the ball from a Dempsey long-ball and sets up Zardes whose effort is well off target. USA seemed determined here.
