Violence Erupts at Copa América Semifinal

A brawl erupted between Uruguay players and Colombian fans at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte following Uruguay's 1-0 loss to Colombia in the Copa America semifinals. The altercation began when Uruguay players, including Darwin Núñez, entered the stands to protect their families from aggressive Colombian fans. Uruguay captain José María Giménez cited inadequate security and the need to defend family members, including newborns, as the reason for the players' actions. The South American Football Confederation (CONMEBOL) condemned the violence and has initiated an investigation. Despite the chaos, the match itself was noted for its intensity, with seven yellow cards and one red card issued. Colombia's victory advances them to the final against Argentina.
