    The 2024 Copa América tournament has progressed to the quarterfinals, with a thrilling match between Colombia and Panama kicking off Saturday at 6 p.m. ET at State Farm Stadium.

    Colombia, currently on a 26-match unbeaten streak, proved its formidable form by holding Brazil to a 1-1 draw, securing the top spot in Group D with seven points.

    Panama has demonstrated its potential by defeating Bolivia 3-1, securing a second-place finish in Group C and advancing to the knockout rounds. This marks a historic achievement for Panama, as it has reached the quarterfinals for the first time in their Copa América history. Previously, it had only participated in one other Copa América tournament, in 2016, and did not make it out of the group stage.
