Overview

  • Independiente said 25 club-linked suspects were identified from the Copa Sudamericana chaos and will be expelled as members with lifetime admission bans while the club cooperates with police to pursue arrests.
  • Argentine justice and APreViDe kept the Libertadores de América closed for forensic work, and Independiente’s domestic match against Platense was postponed.
  • CONMEBOL’s case remains open, with both clubs preparing submissions this week under a timetable that allows penalties ranging from fines and stadium closures to disqualification or exclusion.
  • Authorities and hospital reports cited dozens of injuries and more than 100 detentions later lifted, including a Universidad de Chile fan in critical condition after a fall that caused cranial and cervical trauma.
  • Independiente earlier released a video accusing visiting supporters of starting the unrest, and Chilean futsal player Emily Muñoz resigned from the club, saying she could not remain after the incidents.
