Gonzalo Jara
Gonzalo Jara was the protagonist of one of the most striking moments of the match between Chile and Uruguay in the Copa America. The 'Roja' defender knocked down a fan who invaded the field of the Maracanã Stadium during the game and did not receive any punishment.
The moment has been commented on in the last few hours, and one who also referred to that issue was his teammate, Arturo Vidal. The midfielder defended his teammate after the match for the last round of Group C.
At first, Arturo Vidal was surprised by the mention of journalists that Gonzalo Jara could have been sent off. "What red card? We were attacking and the game was stopped. Didn't you see that?" he said with laughter.
"You have to look closely. These things happen. He wanted to do it to stop the game quickly and continue playing," Arturo Vidal added. He was on the bench and did not participate in the match against Uruguay.
Regarding the match, Uruguay defeated Chile 1-0, thanks to Edinson Cavani's solitary goal, and finished as the leader of Group C in the Copa America. Now, the 'Celeste' will face Peru in the quarterfinals, while the 'Roja' will face Colombia.
