Darwin Nunez and a number of colleagues went into the stands and ended up being involved in a brawl with Colombia fans inside Bank of America Stadium after Uruguay’s heated 1-0 loss in the Copa America semifinals Wednesday.

Nunez, in specific, appeared incensed as he punched a minimum of one fan while the crowd tossed drinks and particles at the Uruguayan gamers.

Scuffles in between the 2 sets of fans had actually currently broken out before the gamers showed up on the scene. The huge bulk of the 70,000 individuals in presence were supporting Colombia.

Uruguay protector Jose Gimenez stated the gamers were attempting to protect their relative in the crowd.

“Let me say something before they cut you off because they won’t let us speak into the microphone, they don’t want me to say anything about what’s going on, but this is a disaster,” Gimenez stated on the main broadcast, according to ESPN. “Please be careful, our families are in the stands, there are little newborn babies. It was a disaster; there was no police, and we had to defend our families.

“This is the fault of 2 or 3 individuals who had a couple of a lot of beverages and do not understand how to consume.”

Roughly 100 Uruguayan fans and federation staff members remained on the field after police restored order and the Colombian supporters had left the stadium, according to Steve Reed of The Associated Press.

Uruguay is scheduled to play Canada in the tournament’s third-place game Saturday.
