Besides, in the quarter-final against Ecuador, Emiliano took the team to the semi by stopping two shots in the tiebreaker. So he got the Golden Gloves for the best goalkeeper of the tournament.
Despite not winning the title, Colombia's James Rodríguez played brilliantly. He scored 1 goal with 6 assists. So Rodriguez won the Golden Ball as Copa's best player award.
