Overview

  • The club says those named will be expelled as members immediately, with APreViDe and police advancing operations to detain them.
  • Judicial authorities kept the Libertadores de América closed for forensic work, and APreViDe postponed Independiente’s home match against Platense.
  • Independiente posted a video blaming Universidad de Chile supporters for triggering the unrest, while reports say the violence escalated when local barras invaded the visiting sector.
  • CONMEBOL opened a disciplinary case, took statements from match officials and set a Wednesday 27 deadline for both clubs to submit evidence, with fines, stadium closures or disqualification possible under regulations.
  • The fallout includes a visiting fan in critical condition after a fall at the stadium and Chilean futsal player Emily Muñoz leaving Independiente.
