2011 Copa América knockout stage

The 2011 Copa América final stages were the elimination stages of the Copa América, following the group stage. They began on 16 July 2011 and consisted of the quarterfinals, the semifinals, the third-place match, and the final held at the Estadio Monumental Antonio Vespucio Liberti on 24 July, in Buenos Aires. Different from previous tournaments, 30 minutes of extra time were played if any match in the final stages finished tied after regulation; previously the match would go straight to a penalty shootout.^[1]

All times are local, Argentina Time (UTC−03:00).
