Jorginho shares photo of players ‘hiding’ in protest, updates fans | OneFootball

What did Jorginho post about the suspension of Flamengo’s Libertadores match?

Flamengo’s match against Independiente Medellín (COL) was suspended for security reasons. The red-and-black players even had to return to the locker room. As a result, Jorginho took the opportunity to reassure the fans of the Most Beloved.

“We’re fine and waiting here,” posted Jorginho on ‘X,’ formerly Twitter. In addition to the midfielder, other Flamengo players also appear in the photo, such as Cebolinha, Ayrton Lucas, Léo Pereira, Luiz Araújo and Léo Ortiz.

Why was Flamengo’s match suspended?

Independiente Medellín fans threw explosives, broke through the stands’ barriers, and invaded the stadium pitch. Because of this, the referee told the players to go to the locker room for safety reasons.

It is important to note that the Colombian police had requested that the match be played behind closed doors. However, Independiente Medellín did not comply with the decision, allowing the match to take place with fans in attendance.

Can Flamengo win the match by walkover?

Yes! If the match does not take place, there is a possibility that Flamengo could be awarded the three points by walkover. That is because Conmebol has already set a precedent after awarding Fortaleza the win in a match against Colo Colo (CHI) in the 2025 Libertadores.
