Following the game at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina altercations broke out between supporters in the stands with players entering the area where their families — including children — were situated in the stadium.

Gimenez, who captained Uruguay in the game, later told the television broadcast that players feared for their families’ safety.

“Colombian fans in a certain section descended on all our families,” he said. “They they won’t let us speak on the microphone. This is a disaster, our families were in danger. We had to rush into the stands to remove our loved ones with tiny newborn babies.”
