Cameroon, who will face either holders France or Turkey -- who play later on Thursday -- in Sunday's final, were fired into a ninth-minute lead by striker Pius Ndiefi but had defender Bill Tchato red-carded an hour later.
They also had to replace midfielder Marc-Vivien Foe after he collapsed in the centre circle and was stretchered off with a breathing tube placed in his mouth. No information was immediately available on his condition.
Cameroon were in control of the match with 11 men and hung on desperately for the win as Colombia laid siege to their goal, hitting the woodwork twice, in a pulsating finale.
