MONTEVIDEO, June 15 (Reuters) - Nacional are seven minutes or an Uruguayan FA (AUF) tribunal ruling from winning the 2014-15 league title after the final against bitter rivals Penarol was suspended due to crowd violence.
The referee suspended Sunday's match at the Centenario seven minutes from the end of extra time with Nacional leading 3-2. An AUF ruling was expected on Monday.
Nacional's veteran striker Alvaro Recoba had just had a penalty saved by Pablo Migliore and Penarol fans tried to invade the pitch from the Amsterdam stand behind one of the goals.
Fans fought with riot police, ripped up seats and flung them towards the pitch.
