The game, although it was entangled, was being interesting. In some stands fans of Santa Fe and National sharing, the people happy to return to the stadium, to live football. That was the important thing beyond the result.
However, when the first half ended, suddenly Cardinal fans located in the south stand invaded the pitch and crossed the entire pitch to face the Nacional fans.
Apparently, fans of the green box, located in the north, had an altercation with a small part of Santa Fe that was there, in the family tribune, and for that reason from the south there were hundreds of fans who ran past.
“These things cannot happen in a stadium. Some misfits who pretend to be fans, invade a platform where there are families, hit children. This is unpresentable ”, the words of Eduardo Méndez, president of Santa Fe in dialogue with Win Sports.
For this they waited so long for the return of the fans tonight to Campín. This country is too sick … Preliminarily there is talk of 5 injured … pic.twitter.com/tyCkNltpZ1

The dispute, which lasted a few minutes, forced the second part of the match to be delayed.
The authorities managed to calm the spirits among a few intolerant fans who turned a sector of the pitch into a battlefield.
Bad start for what is the return of football in the capital of the republic, with all the biosecurity measures, and thinking that this Saturday there will be a classic between Millonarios and Santa Fe.
