CONMEBOL on Thursday condemned the fan violence that forced the abandonment of the Copa Sudamericana last-16 tie between Independiente and Universidad de Chile in Buenos Aires, which left several injured and led to multiple arrests,

The aggression erupted at halftime, when the Chilean team's fans threw projectiles. Everything worsened at the start of the second half, and the match had to be suspended, leading to a tragedy. A stampede surprised the attendees as the stands were being evacuated, and that's when the brawl between fans and even the police began.
