The president of Uruguayan Football Association (AUF), Ignacio Alonsosaid Thursday that the relatives of the players involved in the match after the losing semifinal against the Colombia They are fine, but he said that last night “some people lost their breath and were in a state of shock.”
“The first thing to highlight is that everything is fine. The doctor gives us a report about the follow-up given to the health care system. But there are people who have not had a good time, that they were left gasping for air, in a state of shock,” Alonso said in an interview published by AUF.
At the end of the match at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte (North Carolina), Darwin Núñez, Ronald Araújo and José María Giménez jumped into the stands and fought with some Colombian fans in a surreal fight. Uruguay made sure that the reaction of the footballers took place when they saw that some Colombian fans were having an aggressive attitude towards their relatives.
Alonso said Uruguay has “a battery of professionals to analyze the situation” at a legal level. “Antecedents, when handled in legal terms, have an expiration date. Here we are not in that configuration. We need to see the file when it arrives, see who the players are indicated, where the articles are guilt has been attributed to them and thus we will apply the legal strategy to prevent the penalties from becoming significant,” he assured.
Uruguay continues in Charlotte, where this Saturday they will play the final for third and fourth place against Canada.
