🎥 Chaos in Paraguay! Clash between police and fans halts the clásico | OneFootball

Once again, violence took center stage in a soccer stadium, as Paraguay’s Clásico between Olimpia and Cerro Porteño had to be suspended half an hour after kickoff due to clashes between police and fans. 

The battle began in the north stand, where the "Ciclón" supporters were located and became embroiled in a confrontation with the National Police. 

Security forces fired projectiles and rubber bullets, while a group of supporters stripped a guard of his shield. Chaos broke out. 

The fans displayed it as if it were a trophy, and the police responded with tear gas and pepper spray that quickly spread to other sections of the stadium, where attendees began to flee to avoid inhaling the residue.   

Noticing what was happening, some players threw water bottles into the stands to help their fans. 

The match was suspended as there were no guarantees to continue.
