After the Copa America semifinal match between Uruguay and Colombia, a clash occurred between the fans, followed by the players of both teams.

Uruguayan veteran Luis Suarez commented on the altercation after the match, expressing his concern about the behavior involved.

"There are always scuffles, laughter, words, whatever. But what concerns me the most is how they mock and celebrate, it is senseless. We knocked out Brazil, and none of us walked past a single Brazilian player. On the contrary, we went to congratulate them.

We are colleagues on the field, we know what it means to suffer from a loss. Walking past a fellow professional looks bad, but the one above sees everything, and everything comes back. As a group, we must rise, stay strong, and remain united. We will often face similar situations," said Suarez.

Additionally, CONMEBOL issued a statement condemning the violence that followed the match. However, it is not yet known if any punishments will be handed out to the parties involved.
