Lorenzo not mentioning unbeaten streak heading into Copa America clash with Uruguay

Nestor Lorenzo is relishing Colombia’s upcoming battle with Uruguay for a place in the Copa America final this Sunday.

Colombia extended their unbeaten run to 27 matches following a 5-0 thrashing of Panama in their quarter-final match up last time out.

But they are faced with a Uruguay side buoyed by their penalty shootout victory over Brazil in Las Vegas last weekend.

Colombia’s last defeat was a 1-0 loss to Argentina, who they could meet in the tournament’s showpiece, back in February 2022.

However, Lorenzo insisted that full focus was on the game at hand, saying that the record will be put to the back of his players’ mind when they walk out on to the pitch at the Bank of America Stadium.

“I don’t mention the unbeaten record, it’s about taking it one game at a time. This is the most important game for us,” Lorenzo said.
