The incidents that occurred against Monagas in the Copa Libertadores were very expensive for the Cacique, who will have to close some sectors of the Monumental Stadium and pay a financial fine.
Colo Colo had a bittersweet day on the day of its 98th anniversary. The team responded on the field by defeating Monagas in the Copa Libertadores and everything indicated that the day would end with a party. But unfortunately, football was marred by new acts of violence that occurred in the Cordillera sector of the Monumental Stadium, when a group of heartless people started a fight.
What happened was recorded by the Conmebol emissaries present at the venue, who prepared a lapidary report of more than 20 pages in which they recorded the fight, in addition to the launch of fireworks and that 23 sparklers were lit.
The penalty
Undoubtedly, one of the great concerns of the fans was the possibility that the expected match with Boca Juniors would be played without an audience, or even had to be transferred to the provinces. In fact, in Argentina they assured that the duel would be played in Concepción, something that by the way was denied from the Biobío Region.
Although the determination of the governing body of South American football has not yet been made official on its official site, the ruling has already reached the Monumental offices. As DaleAlbo could find out, the Cacique received a heavy fine of 95 thousand dollars, in addition to the fact that he will have to close the Arica and Lautaro sectors.
In this way, the albos will be able to receive an audience for the expected match against the xeneizes, although the number of fans that the authority will allow is yet to be known. It should be remembered that Blanco y Negro had requested full capacity, something that will not happen because a large part of the galleries in the northern sector will be closed.
Colo Colo at least will not move from the Monumental in the face of a crucial game for their aspirations to qualify for the round of 16 of the Copa Libertadores. However, the determination of Estadio Seguro still remains before the club delivers information for ticket sales, so This afternoon, the presidential delegation will meet with the leadership of Blanco y Negro.
