A foul by the visitor's player Mario Gonzalez led to a melee involving Enzo Echeveste, who charged towards his opponent.
Echeveste grabbed Gonzalez from behind by his neck as Paysandú Interior players surrounded him.
Unperturbed, Gonzalez swung a right hook towards Echeveste - connecting with his chin.
Just 15 minutes into the match, the 43-year-old was filmed landing a blow on the linesman - leaving him sprawled on the ground.
Last month, a similar incident happened on our shores when a frustrated coach hit out at a linesman.
