An unidentified man carries out a box with bottles of beer from a store that was attacked on the morning of 20 November 2001 in Montevideo. Uruguay's 0-1 World Cup defeat at the hands of Australia in Melbourne 20 November got an angry reception back home with 20 people injured and 74 people arrested before and during the match. Thirty thousand Uruguayan supporters gathered in the city center to watch the match on television, but the atmosphere turned nasty even before the match got underway in the early hours of the morning. Cars were burned, shops were wrecked and
police officers attacked in the disturbances.
