Edinson Cavani – Uruguay
Striker Edinson Cavani is just one goal away from going level with Argentina’s Lionel Messi in the scoring leaderboard. The 34-year-old scored a goal in each of Urugay’s wins. Uruguay will rely on his eye for goal.
Juan Cuadrado – Colombia
Winger Juan Cuadrado has one assist to his name in this edition of Copa America. The Juventus player was responsible for the cross that met winger Luis Diaz’s overhead kick against Brazil. If Cuadrado is on his A-game against Uruguay, Colombia has a good chance of making it to the next round.
