Chilean's crude assault slammed

Soccer fraternity rounds on Jara after unseemly poke of Cavani

Players and coaches lined up to condemn Chilean defender Gonzalo Jara on Thursday after he apparently attempted to shove his finger in an opponent's backside during the stormy Copa America quarterfinal win over Uruguay.

Jara was the subject of widespread revulsion on social media after photos and camera footage clearly showed him jabbing a finger into the back of Edinson Cavani's shorts during Wednesday's game, won 1-0 by Chile.
