Flamengo's Libertadores match halted after rival fans' fury
Thursday’s match (7) between Independiente Medellín and Flamengo was suspended after just three minutes of play at Atanasio Girardot.
Members of DIM’s organized supporter groups created tense moments by removing and throwing the protective barriers that had been put in place precisely because protests were expected.
They are located behind the goal that Rossi was defending.
Referee Jesús Valenzuela stopped the match in the third minute after attempted pitch invasions and, shortly afterward, authorized players from both teams to leave the field.
Some banners were displayed with criticism: "Conmebol, betting house" and "They turned the field into a cemetery. Dead!".
Even small fires in the stands were seen.
The atmosphere was already highly tense even before the ball started rolling.
The Colombian club is going through a crisis on and off the field. There was even a recommendation for the match to be played behind closed doors — which was not followed.
Police assigned specifically to the situation surrounded the area where the organized supporters are, and so far there is no expectation that the match will resume.
