JARA-CAVANI INCIDENT REPORTED

Uruguay’s FA will raise a formal complaint against Chilean defender Gonzalo Jara for provoking striker Edinson Cavani by sticking his finger up his backside during the hosts’ 1-0 Copa America quarterfinal win. The complaint to the South American Football Confederation means CONMEBOL’s disciplinary committee will now deal with the incident. Uruguay’s FA (AUF) said in a statement on Friday: “The AUF’s executive committee decided to open the defence of the player Edinson Cavani. It denounced to CONMEBOL’s disciplinary body the actions of the player Gonzalo Jara.” REUTERS
