Copa America 2016: 5 player battles to look out for in the quarter-finals

Chile
Last year’s Copa America winners, Chile will be looking for a repeat performance.

Geoff Cameron (U.S.A) vs Enner Valencia (Ecuador)

Enner Valencia
Enner Valencia is the most prolific player for Ecuador.

The United States have had a better tournament than many would have expected so far and will be hugely motivated to make the semi-finals on their home turf.

Cameron has formed a superb partnership with John Brooks in the center of defense, one that has been instrumental in them keeping two clean sheets in the group stages. The Stoke City man will have to be at his absolute best if he is to thwart Enner Valencia though.

The West Ham striker has 16 goals for 28 games for his national team, having the tendency to perform far better for his country than his club and announced himself on the world stage as well in the last World Cup. Cameron will have to watch out for the barrage of crosses by Jefferson Montero and Antonio Valencia who’ll be looking to make chances for Enner Valencia to stick into the net.
