Flamengo match temporarily suspended after rival fans’ fury
Independiente Medellín versus Flamengo this Thursday (7) was temporarily suspended at Atanasio Girardot after fury from the home crowd.
Members of DIM supporters’ groups created tense moments by removing and throwing the protective barriers that had been put in place precisely because of the expectation of protests.
Referee Jesús Valenzuela halted the match in the third minute after attempted pitch invasions and, shortly afterward, allowed players from both teams to leave the field.

And the protest from those organized groups did not stop.
"Conmebol, betting house" and "They turned the field into a cemetery. Dead!" were some of the banners displayed.
And even small fires in the stands were seen.
The atmosphere was already highly tense even before the ball started rolling. Including journalists being hit by flares.
The Colombian club is going through a crisis on and off the field. And there was even a recommendation for the match to be played behind closed doors - which was not accepted.
Players safe and Fla angry

According to journalist Diogo Dantas, from O Globo, Flamengo wants the match canceled.
The club does not want to remain in Colombia so that, for example, the match can be resumed this Friday (8).
But, at the same time, the Rubro-Negro is waiting for official communication - such as a possible definitive suspension of the match - before leaving the stadium.
The focus is on protecting itself legally to avoid possible problems.
