Athletistic / Football. On the night of July 11, the Uruguay national team lost to Colombia (0:1) in the semifinals of the Copa America 2024. After the end of the match, a massive fight broke out between Uruguayan football players and Colombian fans.
During the conflict, striker Darwin Nunez and defender Ronald Araujo went up to the podium and started fights with aggressive fans of the “cafes”. It is worth noting that before that, Nunes had thrown a chair towards the Colombian fans with a flying start. This happened after they insulted him and his family and made obscene gestures.
The fight had to be broken up by police in the state of North Carolina, USA. It is not yet known what sanctions Darwin Nenez will face for such a reaction to the fans’ behavior.
In the match for third place of the Copa America 2024, Uruguay will face Canada. And the Colombian team will face Argentina in the final.
