• Universidad de Chile stays in the competition, draws Alianza Lima in the quarterfinals, and is fined $270,000 with the same 14‑match fan ban.
• Independiente is fined $250,000 after the last‑16 second leg in Buenos Aires was halted at 1‑1 and later canceled.
• Conmebol says the decision can be appealed, warns of tougher penalties for repeat offenses, and orders both clubs to run anti‑racism and anti‑violence campaigns.
• Nineteen people were injured in the halftime brawl involving thrown objects and attacks on visiting fans, prompting condemnation and a call for “exemplary sanctions” from FIFA’s Gianni Infantino.
