![‘Yellowjackets’ Stars on Filming [SPOILER]’s ‘Heartbreaking’ Death in Episode 6 and Why It Needed to Happen That Way](https://variety.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/Yellowjackts_306_CB_0809_1106_RT.jpg?#)
Shocking moment footballer KOs opponent and leaves him sprawled on floor with sick punch as cup final turns ugly
THIS is the mad moment a match in Uruguay got out-of-hand over the weekend. Paysandú Interior faced off against rivals Mercedes in the OFI National Selection Cup. A Uruguayan match between Paysandú Interior and Mercedes got out of hand at the death https://twitter.com/AlberrtoRM2/status/1893640892637946203 The home team prevailed in the first leg – beating the current champions 1-0. But, the game won’t be remembered for Kevin Guinco’s goal halfway through the second half. With two minutes remaining, tempers flared in the tight contest. A foul by the visitors’ player Mario Gonzalez led to a melee involving Enzo Echeveste, who charged towards his opponent. Echeveste grabbed Gonzalez from behind by his neck as Paysandú Interior players surrounded him. Unperturbed, Gonzalez swung a right hook towards Echeveste – connecting with his chin. The punch knocked the player out – leaving him motionless on the pitch as the perpetrator walked off. Unsurprisingly, Gonzalez was shown a red card for the act of violent conduct. Last month, a similar incident happened on our shores when a frustrated coach hit out at a linesman. Robert Williams-Jones was managing Amlwch Town FC when he grew frustrated at his team’s 8-0 scoreline. Just 15 minutes into the match, the 43-year-old was filmed landing a blow on the linesman – leaving him sprawled on the ground. Footage then showed spectators and staff rushing over to the dugout to help the official, whose age hasn’t been released. Williams-Jones pleaded guilty to assault occasioning actual bodily harm but avoided a prison term. The thug was instead handed a 24 week sentence suspended for 12 months at Caernarfon Magistrates’ Court.
