Liverpool star Darwin Nunez was involved in an extraordinary post-match brawl, jumping into the stands and throwing punches at supporters after Uruguay was eliminated from the Copa America on Wednesday night.

Nunez, visibly emotional, was restrained by security as he and his teammates confronted fans following a tense 1-0 semi-final loss to Colombia in Charlotte, North Carolina. Video footage shows the 25-year-old forward with teammates Jose Gimenez and Ronald Araujo as the situation escalated after the final whistle.

Gimenez explained on TV that the players’ families, seated near the fans, were swarmed by drunken supporters, prompting the players to step in for their defense. “This is an embarrassment, there wasn’t one police officer to control them. We had to go and defend our own just because they can’t control their drinking,” he said.

Nunez started throwing punches after a man in a black polo shirt with credentials began hitting a nearby Colombia fan, following a drink being thrown towards the Uruguay players.

The Liverpool forward was later seen consoling his baby son on the field post-fight. Some fans could be heard screaming as the chaos unfolded, and another clip showed children being handed off to Uruguay staff on the field. Uruguay players Maximiliano Araujo and Sebastian Caceres were also seen near the fans.

Uruguay player families were subsequently escorted out of the stadium through a different exit for their safety, as reported by Favian Renkel. Uruguay manager Marcelo Bielsa, when asked about the incident, said he “didn’t see everything,” adding, “I went to the locker room… the Uruguayan players were thanking the Uruguayan fans for their support.”

The fiery atmosphere at Bank of America Stadium saw Colombia have a man sent off, with both teams delivering heavy tackles. James Rodriguez was booked after protesting with the referee. Daniel Munoz received two yellow cards in the first half, the second for elbowing Manuel Ugarte. Liverpool’s Luis Diaz was frequently fouled, and Uruguay drew criticism for continuing to play while Richard Rios was injured in the corner. Rios was eventually stretchered off after attempting to continue.

Colombia secured a 1-0 victory thanks to a Jefferson Lerma header and will face Lionel Messi and Argentina in the final on Sunday in Miami.
