Overview

  • The Liga Profesional confirmed the postponement, citing an APREVIDE order that halted Sunday night’s fixture at the Libertadores de América.
  • A judge had initially cleared Independiente to host Platense behind closed doors or at another venue before the security agency overrode that path and suspended the match.
  • The stadium remains under judicial closure while Fiscalía N°4 advances its probe into the violent clashes with Universidad de Chile supporters, which the provincial security minister said included a prosecutor’s finding of blood evidence in a stand.
  • Images from the venue show extensive damage, including torn doors and gates, broken tiling, destroyed restrooms, dismantled food kiosks, and compromised utilities.
  • New scheduling has not been set, with the September 4–9 FIFA window under consideration, as possible sporting sanctions from CONMEBOL and the league are still pending.
