RIO DE JANEIRO - Huachipato defender Gustavo Semino was arrested and taken to a police station after lashing out at a fan.

This was after the end of his team's 2-1 defeat by La Serena. The fan was also arrested, local media said.

The incident happened after Semino was sent off for pushing a ball boy who delayed returning the ball.

As Semino walked to the dressing room, the fan ran onto the pitch to insult him and Semino responded by punching him. - Reuters
