Darwin Nunez, Uruguay players fight Colombia fans in stands following Copa America post-match dustup

Things got chaotic in a hurry at the end of regulation between Colombia and Uruguay in their Copa America semifinal matchup on Wednesday night. Colombia won the game 1-0, but a scuffle broke out between the teams after the game was over. The players were eventually separated by referees, but then Darwin Nunez of Uruguay decided to take things into the stands. He went after some Colombian fans with some other players on the Uruguay roster.

Police eventually separated the fans in the stands from the Uruguay players, but it didn’t seem easy as you might imagine. Here’s another video from Fox Soccer on the fight between the players after the game ended.

There must have been something in the water on Wednesday evening, as the scene resembled something similar to the Pacers-Pistons “Malice at the Palace” fight from 2004. It’s one of the more famous fights in American sports history and ESPN even made a documentary on it titled, “Untold: Malice at the Palace”.
