Conmebol opened a file against the Cacique for the distressing acts of violence that occurred at the Monumental Stadium. The club risks severe penalties and the match with Boca Juniors could be played without an audience.
Colo Colo celebrated its anniversary with a victory over Monagas in the Copa Libertadores, thus reaching the leadership of group F. However, what should have been a party was marred by new episodes of violence, after a fight between white fans in the Cordillera sector.
These facts were consigned by emissaries ofe Conmebol in a lapidary report, for which the governing body of South American football opened a file against the Cacique. This can lead to a harsh sanction for the next international matches.
What penalty does Colo Colo risk?
It is known that Conmebol’s hand does not tremble to apply harsh punishments to the institutions for incidents within the venues. In fact, the club was penalized with a match without an audience for what happened against River Plate last year. On that occasion, they took into account the avalanches in the accesses and the throwing of blunt objects to the field.
The scenario seems to get more complicated if it is taken into account that the use of bladed weapons by baristas was detailed . To all this, one must add the fact that fireworks were launched and sparklers were lit, which will entail a high economic fine.
What does the Conmebol Disciplinary Code say?? Taking into account that the fight was started by albos fans, the entity establishes the “obligation to play one or more games behind closed doors or with a limited number of spectators”he “partial closure of the stadium” or straight the prohibition to play in the Monumental.
Now in the Cacique they must wait for the arbitration report and later the verdict of the governing body of South American football. However, all the information indicates that the club will be punished and fair for the expected match against Boca Juniors in the next may 3.
