World governing body, FIFA has opened disciplinary proceedings against Uruguay's Football Association and four players over their conduct at the end of their final World Cup group game against Ghana.
Uruguay defeated Ghana 2-0 but both team crashed out of the tournament.
Ghana skipper Andre Ayew missed a penalty in the 21st minute as his kick was saved by Uruguay goalkeeper Sergio Rochet following a foul on Mohammed Kudus.
Uruguay went on to win the game 2-0 thanks to goals from Giorgio de Arrascaeta in the 26th and 32nd minutes of the game but it was not enough as teams went out of the tournament.
After the game, Uruguay's players reacted furiously, confronting the referee and appearing to manhandle an assistant after they failed to award a penalty after a coming together between Darwin Nunez and Alidu Seidu.
Jose Maria Gimenez, Edinson Cavani, Fernando Muslera and Diego Godin all face potential punishments for breaches of FIFA's disciplinary code relating to offensive behaviour and misconduct.
The Uruguayan FA faces action for the same breaches of the code, as well as another relating to discrimination.
Cavani was filmed pushing over the pitchside monitor as he walked down the tunnel after the match, after which ITV pundit Ian Wright called him a "horrible guy".
