(VIDEO) The blow that Darwin Nuñez received and what Liverpool has decided to do about it

Yesterday in the Copa America, Colombia defeated Uruguay 1-0 in the semifinals as a goal by Jefferson Lerma in the first half was enough to seal the win and advance to the final of the competition against Argentina. Two Liverpool players were involved in the match, Darwin Nuñez for Uruguay and Luis Diaz for Colombia. The aftermath of the match is what made headlines as a fight broke out in the crowd, which involved Uruguayan players, including Nuñez. The Liverpool striker and other Uruguayan players arrived, where the fights broke out to protect their families, and then Nuñez fought a couple of fans. The incident was wild to see, and many expect the Uruguayan striker to receive a suspension. ESPN reports that Liverpool's football leadership team will be in contact with their striker to check on him and his family's safety and then look into what exactly happened before making a decision on him. There are concerns that Nuñez could face a big suspension by CONMEBOL and FIFA.

Many reports and statements from the players themselves suggest that the Colombian fans were drunk and 'avalanched’ the families of the Uruguayan players. The Uruguayan players like Nuñez were furious to see what was going on, which involved their family members. The striker played in all of the matches for Uruguay in the Copa America and now he will likely take a vacation before rejoining the Liverpool team ahead of the upcoming season.

The captain of the Uruguay national team, Jose Maria Gimenez, spoke after the game due to an unfortunate incident that happened in the stands. He went on a rant that was justified because the situation put people in danger. Gimenez said, "This is an embarrassment. There wasn’t one police officer to control there. We had to go and defend our own just because they can’t control their drinking."
