Brazil vs Colombia: Diaz double wins it for hosts

Luis Diaz inspired Colombia to victory over Brazil on an emotional night as his father watched from the stands after being released from prison.

The Liverpool forward scored twice in the second half to give Colombia a 2-1 win in their Copa America semi-final clash.

It was an emotional night for Diaz, who dedicated his goals to his father, who was released from prison earlier this week after serving a sentence for drug trafficking.

Diaz's first goal came in the 53rd minute, when he pounced on a loose ball in the Brazil penalty area and fired home. His second goal came in the 79th minute, when he headed home a cross from Juan Cuadrado.

Brazil had taken the lead in the first half through Roberto Firmino, but they were unable to find an equaliser after Diaz's goals.

The win means that Colombia will now face Argentina in the Copa America final on Saturday.
