The game and the aftermath were marred by unsavory incidents, which involved Nunez throwing and receiving punches in the stands.
The president of the Uruguay FA, Ignacio Alonso, accused Colombia fans of attacking his players’ families.
He stated on Nunez going into the stands to fight fans: "It was a natural, instinctive reaction that was rational given the events that were taking place."
The Liverpool Echo states that the Reds will wait to establish all the facts before commenting.
