A fiery Copa Libertadores clash between Brazilian side Palmeiras and Uruguay’s Peñarol was made worse for Ramón Arias, who had the sponsor board fall on him during a post-match interview on the pitch.

Riot police can be seen in the background after apparently bringing the widely-reported violence following the final whistle on Wednesday under control.

A lighter moment was seen later on the live television coverage as the translucent board display of corporate logos for the cup collapsed onto the unaware Peñarol centre back as he spoke with a reporter.
