The match was followed by ugly scenes in the crowd and on the pitch. Nunez was caught on camera throwing punches - though not many landed - after climbing into the stands, apparently in an attempt to protect members of his family.
Nunez was also pictured swinging a foldable chair on the field before a member of stadium security staff intervened.
Araujo jumped into the crowd too, while Bentancur was seen throwing bottles into the stands.

Nunez has been issued with a five-game suspension by South American football's governing body.
Bentancur has been banned for four matches, while Araujo, Mathias Olivera and Jose Gimenez will serve suspensions of three games each.
These bans will not apply to club matches.
However, they could damage Uruguay's qualifying campaign for the 2026 World Cup in the USA, Mexico and Canada.
Uruguay's next five matches are all World Cup qualifiers - against Paraguay, Venezuela, Peru, Ecuador and then Colombia.
Nunez is currently the leading scorer in the South American qualifying event after six rounds of fixtures, having netted five times for Uruguay.
