The only true semifinal derby

Game thirtieth at the Copa America Centenario is actually the first and only derby game from the semifinals. At Monday morning's final already awaits Argentina and everything points out that we are going to see a repeated final from 2015. But in order for that to happen last hurdle for Chile is Colombia who has an excellent team. 
Almost identical results in the group phase, both South American teams prove to us that they are both deserving to be at the final match but unfortunately only one will prevail. Mostly draws in their previous meetings we are sure that both wants to avoid the penalty shootout gambling which means that we will have some interesting and entertaining game ahead of us. If they can close down the best two Chilean players (Vargas and Sanchez), then Colombia do not have to worry about the end result. And we are sure that Argentina's coach - Jose Pekerman knows that recipe. But Chile is looking more confident from game to game and, after that crazy 7:0 win against Mexico, will hope to enter the final. Maybe we are not going to see lots of goals, and maybe little bit of thriller is out of the question in this one but we are voting for La Roja (Chilean) win in regular time.
