Uruguay’s Darwin Núñez Brawls With Fans In Stands After Copa América Game

You can see Núñez threw some punches — and ate some as well. Others hurled drinks at the footballer. Eventually, some of Núñez’s teammates even hopped in to back up their pal.

Fortunately, after a few moments of fighting … security was able to restore order — and the guys returned to their locker room.

After the melee, Uruguay superstar Luis Suárez insinuated some of his teammates’ family members and friends were involved in the action … which he says sparked the Uruguayans’ impulsive responses.

“I could see from afar that there were a lot of families and many of my teammates’ children trapped in that section,” he told reporters. “It’s normal that you feel helpless and want to help when they’re having things thrown at them.”
