James Rodriguez won the COPA AMERICA player of the tournament award despite COLOMBIA’S defeat in the final.
The 33-year-old provided six assists and also scored a goal as Colombia reached the final of the continental tournament for only the second time.
The Golden Ball award was first handed out to the tournament’s best player in 1987. JAMES is the second Colombian to win the award following Carlos Valderrama, who did so in 1987.
