Gate chaos and messages from the stands: did Colón's ultras stop play? | OneFootball

A chaotic buildup led to serious incidents at the stadium gates. With half of the barra left outside due to changes in the security checks, there were overruns, damage, and a barrage of stun bombs.

Just minutes before kickoff, hundreds of fans were met with inexplicable delays and long lines at the entrances to the Brigadier López. The reason? A last-minute change in the entry logistics that left a large part of the Sabalero crowd stuck at the gates.

The situation spiraled when it emerged that the official barra was split: one faction had already taken its place in the stands while the other half remained held up at the external checkpoints. The response was immediate: “They smashed everything and got in”, eyewitnesses said about the violent surge that forced a massive entry.

Did they want the match suspended?

Once the bulk of the supporters managed to pack the terrace, the hostile atmosphere spilled onto the pitch. During the first half, the match was interrupted several times by a barrage of stun bombs and smoke flares raining down from the north stand.
