A brawl breaks out between players and fans after the Colombia-Uruguay football match

After a heated football match on the field, emotions also ran high in the stands on Wednesday evening during the Copa America semi-final between Colombia and Uruguay in Charlotte.

About a dozen Uruguayan footballers entered the stands and had to be removed by security personnel.

“Uruguay players entered the stands and a fight broke out between fans and players,” read a post on the Fox Soccer X account, which was retweeted by Fox Sports, which broadcast the match.
