The role of Luis Suarez in the violent altercation following Uruguay's meeting with Colombia has been disclosed.
Luis Suarez's involvement before the Uruguayan players' confrontation with Colombian supporters has been disclosed through the release of damning video footage.
On Thursday, Colombia secured their place in the Copa America final against Argentina by defeating Uruguay 1-0.
Jefferson Lerma of Crystal Palace scored the sole goal of the match by heading it home before the interval.
Daniel Munoz's dismissal resulted in Colombia's reduction to ten players; however, they managed to secure the victory and advance to the subsequent round of the tournament.
However, the semi-final match was tainted by the unsightly events following the final whistle.
Darwin Nunez was observed throwing punches, which sparked a wild brawl as Uruguay players entered the crowd to confront Colombia supporters.
Nevertheless, Suarez engaged in a physical altercation with Miguel Borja of Colombia before entering the stands, which incited acrimonious exchanges between the opposing teams.
After congratulating James Rodriguez, players and officials stepped in, and Suarez returned to Borja and his teammates.
The former Liverpool player can be seen striking a Colombian coach in another video.
After the match, Jose María Gimenez alleged that supporters had threatened the families of the Uruguayan players.
Allow me to say this before they cut you off. This is a disaster, but they won't allow us to speak into the microphone, so they don't want me to talk about what's happening.
"Please be careful, our families are in the stands, and there are small newborn babies," Gimenez continued. It was a catastrophe; we had to protect our families since there were no police. This is the result of two or three drunk individuals who lack drinking experience."
Colombia plays Argentina in the championship game, while Uruguay plays Canada in the third-place match to end their campaign.
