July 12 – Conmebol have opened a disciplinary investigation into the “acts of violence” at the end of Wednesday’s Copa America semi-final between Uruguay and Colombia.
Uruguay’s Liverpool striker Darwin Nunez was among the players who waded into the stands at the Bank of America Stadium and exchanged punches with fans during what Conmebol called “unacceptable” scenes.
Uruguay central defender Jose Maria Gimenez said players had leapt into the melee out of concern for the safety of family members and loved ones watching the game in that section of the ground.
