After a 10-man Colombia defeated Uruguay in the Copa America 2024 semifinals, things got out of hand as Darwin Nunez got involved in an ugly brawl with Colombian fans. Striker Nunez was among the Uruguay players, also involving Ronald Araujo and Jose Maria Gimenez,who were seen punching fans in the stands. It is believed that some Colombian fans were seen hurling caps, cans, and punches at the Uruguay players when they weremaking their way back to the changing room after a disappointing 1-0 loss in the semifinal encounter, at the Bank of America Stadium.
Here is the video of the ugly incident:
Nunez entered the stand and threw punches at some fans before being joined by his two teammates as well. The security officials had to intervene to separate the two sides and calm things down. Reportedly, it all happened as the Colombian fans were abusing the families of the players.
Uruguay captainGimenez opined on the whole incident after the match. He said, "It’s a total disaster. There wasn’t a single police officer. They showed up half an hour later. A disaster. And we were there, standing up for ourselves, for our loved ones."
