Overview

  • Play was halted for more than 15 minutes after a validated 50th‑minute goal for Unión Magdalena triggered a shoe‑throwing protest.
  • The referee sent players to the dressing rooms as security cleared hundreds of shoes and contained attempted pitch incursions from the south stand.
  • The match, postponed from the league’s opening round, eventually resumed and finished 1–2 at El Campín in Bogotá.
  • Millonarios had led through Beckham Castro before Jannenson Sarmiento equalized and then put the visitors ahead from a Ricardo Márquez assist.
  • With five defeats and one draw this phase, Millonarios sit at the bottom on one point, and sections of the fan base are calling for González to be removed.
