A massive fight broke out in the Copa America 2024 final between Uruguay and Colombia players after the full-time whistle was blown at the Bank of America Stadium. The game between the two sides was anyways heated and the video did not show how the brawl started. Both sets of players were going up against each other and it may have been in the heat of the moment after a tough battle between the two nations.
Daniel Munoz was sent off earlier on in the first half which meant that the Colombia team had to play the rest of the second half with one less player. The team was united and gave it their all for the remainder of the match as they sealed their place in the final of the tournament. The goal in the first-half from Jefferson Lerma was enough to get them through.
