Uruguay’s loss to Colombia in the Copa America semifinals was capped off in extremely ugly fashion as Darwin Nunez and Ronald Araujo fought with fans in the stands afterwards.
The Liverpool forward, who endured a frustrating night in front of the goal, could be seen throwing punches in a video in scenes after the 1-0 defeat.
A Colombia fan could be seen throwing a drink at Nunez and his Uruguay teammates, while Jose Gimenez appeared to be playing peacemaker.
The defender reportedly said on TV afterwards that the players’ families – sitting in close proximity to the fans – were ‘avalanched’ by supporters.
‘This is a disaster, our families are in danger,’ he said. ‘Not one single policeman.’
