"The result of the celebration in Bogota of (the) match is very bad ... Eight people died in hospitals," Petro wrote on Twitter.
A 25-year-old woman was hit and killed by a stray bullet in Bosa, a residential section of Bogota, but details on the other fatalities were unavailable.
After the deaths of nine people in Bogota after Colombia's first FIFA World Cup game, a 3-0 win over Greece, local authorities implemented a series of measures to try and avoid violent acts.
The measures, including a 'dry law' prohibiting the purchase, sale and consumption of alcohol, were successful after Colombia's second and third group matches when no fatalities were reported.
Colombia's win against Uruguay put it through to quarter-finals where it will face host Brazil in Fortaleza.
