VIDEO: Uruguay Soccer Players Fight Fans in Stands After Colombia Copa America Match

Just like fans are expected to stay in their lanes, ideally respectfully cheering and jeering, players are supposed to do the same, keeping the action all on the field. Shortly after Wednesday’s Copa America soccer match between Uruguay and Colombia, the lines blurred.

It’s like a scene from Malice at the Palace during Ron Artest’s heyday with the Indiana Pacers, only with soccer instead. And this wasn’t just one or two unruly players who lost their cool; there were several.

But make no mistake, the fans played their part too, this wasn’t just players unleashing on some unexpected fans for no reason. Anyway, here’s the video of what some are calling Malice at the Palace 2.0.

And another angle of the Uruguay-Colombia fight because this one’s pretty wicked, folks.

In case you’re wondering, Colombia ended up winning the match, 1-0. But some might argue the bigger brawl took place in the stands at Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina.
