Colombia's soccer players qualified for the final of the America's Cup tonight, as they beat Uruguay 1:0 in the semifinals in Charlotte.
The only goal was scored by Jefferson Lerma in the 39th minute.
Colombia played with ten men in the second half, as Daniel Munoz received a second yellow card in stoppage time of the first half.
Colombia reached the final of the Copa America for the first time since winning the only trophy in the competition in 2001.
The Colombian national team continued its streak of 28 games without defeat, which is a team record, i.e. one win more than the previous best streak of that selection made from 1992 to 1994.
There were 70.644 fans in the stadium, mostly Colombian.
The players of both teams were nervous during the game, and after the duel they fought on the field.
Uruguayan national team member Darvin Nunes and several of his teammates climbed into the stands when the fan fight started. The video shows Nunes punching a fan wearing a Colombia shirt.
It took the police more than 10 minutes to arrive and restore order. About 100 Uruguayan fans and members of the federation remained on the field for more than 20 minutes after the match.
Uruguay captain Jose Jimenez said the players climbed into the stands to protect their families.
"This is a disaster. Our family was in danger. We had to go to the stands to protect our loved ones, little babies, newborns. Everything was catastrophic. There was not a single policeman," he said.
