Jorginho shares photo of players ‘hiding’ during 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 safety reasons. The red-and-black players even had to return to the locker room. As a result, Jorginho took the opportunity to reassure the club’s fans.

“We’re fine and waiting here,” Jorginho posted on ‘X,’ formerly Twitter. Besides 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 point out that the Colombian police requested that the match be played behind closed doors. However, Independiente Medellín did not comply with the decision, allowing the match to go ahead with fans in attendance.

Can Flamengo win the match by W.O.?

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