A year ago, Colombia eliminated Uruguay in the semi-finals of Copa America at the end of a harsh match concluded on the smallest of the margins (1-0). At the end of the meeting, the Uruguayan striker Darwin Nuñez had been unpertained by supporters in the stands, which had led a fight in the rostrum that had degenerated. The Liverpool striker served the first two matches of his international suspension, against Paraguay and Venezuela, before the Uruguayan football federation appealed to this prohibition before the Sports Arbitral Tribunal.
However, the heap rejected the appeal after an examination of the incident, believing that the case of self -defense of Nuñez does not resist an in -depth examination. A declaration of the court indicates that “In this case, the principle of self -defense does not apply. The conduct of the players constituted a voluntary, violent and unjustified action which was in violation of the disciplinary code of the Consbol. ” He will therefore finish serving the suspension of five firm games during the next international truce.
