The referee stopped the match for about three minutes before blowing for full time early to keep the players safe.
Danubio boss Leonel Rocco said: “When we saw people coming onto the pitch, we all ran over that way.
“There was a lot of arguing, but I did not see punches, because that would have set off a riot.
“A couple of shoves, but not blows.
“They came on to show they were unhappy and that cannot happen.”
“There was very little security.”
He added: “I have to say many Danubio fans calmed things down.”
Players were taken out of a side door and no serious injuries were reported.
