The duel between Independiente against the Universidad de Chile at the Libertadores de América stadium in Argentina had to be interrupted due to lack of security after a widespread confusion in the stands on Wednesday evening (21). At least three people died and one is in serious condition.
The clash between the teams, valid for the round 16, was linked in 1 × 1, giving classification to the Chileans, with the 1 × 0 victory in the first game.
During the game, the university fans of Chile were launched explosive artifacts against fans of Independent. The sector intended for visitors is above the main crowd, facilitating the launch of bombs.
Following, the Argentines reacted and also launched bullets against Chileans. Even with the tension in the stands, the referee Gustavo Tejira authorized the beginning of the second stage, which was interrupted in 4 minutes, due to the new confusion.
With the hostile mood, the fans of Universidad of Chile tried to take refuge and leave the stands. However, according to the Argentina Olé newspaper, there is news that, at this moment, a new struggle has begun involving the local police. Subsequently, a small group of Chileans returned to the place for visitors, being victims of aggression.
In the images circulating on social networks, you can see the moment when fans of Independent, who have pieces of wood and iron bars, can access the sector intended for Chileans, starting new aggressions.
