This decision not to allow fans to visit, in this case from Independiente Medellín, comes after the chaos that happened in the match between Nacional and Junior a month ago and left about 20 wounded from both sides. In addition, after stopping the match that Nacional won 2-0 until the 53rd minute, the Medellín Mayor’s Office had the control of closing the stadium completely for 2 dates , and Dimayor gave the victory to Junior 0-3, all three. points and 6 games behind closed doors, along with a financial fine of more than $40 million pesos for the Paisa club.
It should be remembered that this game will be played by peopleas the events took place in a match which is compatible with the League and it is in that competition that the sanction is paid. This Thursday’s classic is for the Colombian Cup.
Both teams arrived in good time. Nacional has 7 games without losing in both competitions, it is one step away from being sure that it is classified in the League in which it is in fourth place with 29 points.
For its part, Independiente Medellín is encouraged by the victories obtained in the last matches. In the Clausura Championship he beat Jaguares and went to the group of eight with 19 points.
There is a lot of promise in this classic match which will leave one of the last two who will fight for the title, Nacional who will try to keep it.
Apart from fun, the message for both fans is to experience the classic in peace anywhere in the city.
The return match in which Medellín will be home does not yet have a specific day or time and the measure of non-entry of the fans will also be maintained.
