Well, with this assist to the National Team’s forward, James rose to the level of Carlos ‘The Kid’ Valderrama and equaled him in an item in which the Colombian ’10’s stand out in Copa América.

And according to data from ‘Misterchip’, James is the first player to provide three assists in a single edition of the Cup, something that ‘El Pibe’ already did in the 1987 Cup.
