Colombia-Paraguay: Highlights, score for Copa America match

One of the favorites to win the 2024 CONMEBOL Copa América kicks off tournament play with its first group stage match on Monday.

Colombia, who hold 9-1 odds to win their first Copa América since 2001, faced off against Paraguay on Monday evening to start Group D play in this competition, getting their first win of the tournament 2-1. The two teams are among the last to play their first game in the tournament.

Colombia came in third place in 2021 and 2016 but didn't advance past the quarterfinals in 2019. Across the field is a Paraguay national team that hasn't won this tournament since 1979, though they were runners-up as recently as 2011. Paraguay reached the quarterfinals in each of the last two iterations of the Copa América – in 2019 and 2021.
