Ramón Jesurún Sr., 71, and his son Ramón Jamil Jesurún, 43, were arrested shortly after midnight Monday stemming from a fight with at least three stadium workers who denied them access to the field after the game.
They were charged with three counts of battery against a specified official or employee, according to jail records.
The elder Jesurún – who is also a vice president of CONMEBOL, the organization which runs Copa America – hit a security manager, causing the man’s hat to fall off his head, according to incident reports.

Police said the younger Jesurún grabbed a uniformed security officer around the neck, dragged him to the ground and kicked him in the head. He son also pushed, pulled and grabbed a female security guard after raising his fist, but not striking her.
The security officer who endured the head kick was transported to a local hospital by Miami-Dade Fire Rescue after the incident.
They were booked into Turner Guilford Knight Correctional Center in Miami just after 4:10 a.m. local time on Monday. The younger Jesurún remained in jail, pending a $1,000 bond, late Monday evening, while his father was released.
They were among 27 people arrested by the Miami-Dade Police Department during the final, while 55 others were ejected from the stadium.
