About a dozen Uruguayan soccer players clashed with Colombian fans after their 1-0 loss in the Copa America semifinal. They said they climbed onto the stands of the Bank of America stadium to protect their families after they were targeted following a contentious end of the match.
Different videos showed striker Darwin Nuñez leading the pack of players and striking a fan wearing a Colombian jersey. He also appeared to receive a blow from another Colombian fan. Ronald Araújo and José María Giménez were among the most well-known players seen on the stands.
