The measures for the next games of America after the incidents in Pascual

This Sunday the match between América de Cali and Atlético Nacional had to end early because the local fans entered the field after fighting with the Police. In addition, they beat a visiting fan.

After the incidents, Mayor Jorge Iván Ospina announced the sanctions that the scarlet club will have to face, which will have to pay a fine of 20 million pesos for the damage to the Pascual Guerrero stadium.

In addition, the south tribune of the Valle del Cauca stage will not be able to receive fans for the remainder of the year and the authorities are offering a reward of 3 million for those who help in the capture of the fans who entered the field and beat the Nacional supporter. They will also be banned from the stadium for six months.

“On Sunday we had really embarrassing events in the framework of the match between America and Nacional. Not only does it create a great displeasure, but it means making decisions in the face of what happened. At 5:10 in the afternoon outside there was a brawl between fans of both teams, which caused 17 fans to be taken to the Lido Police Station, ”said Ospina.

The first president of Cali, who reported that the attacked Nacional fan is out of danger, added: “We had previously identified that anomalous circumstances were going to arise and therefore we redouble our efforts. At 7:22 pm, when the game was already getting ahead, we had some difficulties inside the bar, apparently due to the possession of rags. At 8 pm, as the game was about to close, individuals entered the field, for which it was finished and he directed us to an immediate reaction and a contingency plan ”.

“Later, outside the stadium, we had two episodes between the fans and the Police. As a result of these circumstances we have damages in the Pascual for a value of 20 million between seats and some of the damaged railings. This is a situation that hurts us more when we have been rebuilding the scene and overcoming social and economic problems, ”concluded Ospina.
