A huge brawl broke out in Charlotte between fans and members of Uruguay’s soccer team after players entered the stands following the team’s 1-0 loss to Colombia in the semifinals.
It happened Wednesday night in North Carolina at the Bank of America Stadium where the city was hosting CONMEBOL Copa America match, that represents all 50 states and around 60 countries, WSOC TV reported. Immediately following Uruaguay’s loss, forward Darwin Núñez and about a dozen of his Uruguay teammates ran into the stands where the major fight broke out.
In one clip, Nunez can be seen throwing a punch to a fan wearing Colombia colors, the outlet noted. Things then got out of control between fans and players, with beverages and trash being thrown back and forth and people being shoved.
“This is the best game I’ve ever seen in my life,” Daniel Arias, a fan, said.
A contentious Copa America…
