Colo-Colo handed 10-game supporter ban after fan deaths before Copa Libertadores tie
Chilean soccer club Colo-Colo must play five home matches in continental competition without fans and will also not be allowed supporters for the next five away matches. The bans were confirmed by CONMEBOL, the organising body of the Copa Libertadores, after two teenage fans were killed in a crush ahead of a Copa Libertadores match last month. Advertisement Local police confirmed the deaths of an 18-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy following a confrontation between supporters and police ahead of Colo-Colo's tie against Brazilian side Fortaleza on April 10. Police general Alex Bahamondes told TVN that the perimeter fence of the stadium had become surrounded by 'approximately 150 fans' ahead of the game. Colo-Colo's league derby match against Universidad de Chile, which had been scheduled to take place three days after that tie, was postponed as a mark of respect. Prosecutor Francisco Morales, via Chilean media outlet Emol, said that an investigation has commenced into whether a police car was involved in the deaths. Despite the incidents ahead of the match, the game kicked off and proceeded normally until its suspension in the 72nd minute, when a group of Colo-Colo fans invaded the pitch amid the situation. CONMEBOL have awarded Fortaleza a 3-0 victory for the match, which was scoreless when it was abandoned, alongside sanctioning Colo-Colo supporters for a further 10 matches. O Fortaleza Esporte Clube informa que, por decisão oficial da CONMEBOL, foi declarado vencedor da partida contra o Colo-Colo pelo placar de 3×0, em decorrência dos atos de violência praticados pela torcida adversária na partida realizada no Chile. Agradecemos à CBF pelo apoio… — Fortaleza Esporte Clube 🦁 (@FortalezaEC) April 30, 2025 The first of the five-match home stadium ban has already been served, as the Santiago-based club drew 1-1 at home to Racing Club of Argentina in their Copa Libertadores group stage match on April 23.

Colo-Colo have also been fined $80,000 (£60,000) for the episode.

Two teenage soccer fans die after clashes between supporters, Chilean police ahead of Copa Libertadores tie
Two teenage soccer fans died following a confrontation with police ahead of Colo-Colo's Copa Libertadores match against Fortaleza on Thursday. The incident took place ahead of the game. Police general Alex Bahamondes told TVN police were responding to approximately 150 fans trying to enter Colo-Colo's Estadio Monumental in Santiago, Chile. Advertisement Colo-Colo confirmed in a statement that two of their fans had died while CONMEBOL, the organising body of the Copa Libertadores, said: 'We express our deepest condolences to their families and loved ones.' Bahamondes told TVN that the victims were an 18-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy. 'Approximately 150 people entered (the stadium) with a sledgehammer and overflowed the fences surrounding the security perimeter,' Bahamondes said on the Chilean TV station. Bahamondes confirmed the vehicle involved in the incident was 'a police vehicle, which supposedly participated to maintain public order, but there is no certainty about whether that was the case.' Prosecutor Francisco Morales, via Chilean media outlet Emol, said that an investigation has commenced into whether a police car was involved in the deaths. 'At the moment, what is known is that one of the bars crushed these two youngsters with a greater weight, a force that could be attributable to different causes, and all of them are being investigated as possible working hypotheses to determine the final cause of these youngster's deaths,' Morales said. Morales said the 'preliminary information' indicated that the two individuals who died were part of a group 'of at least a hundred', who he claimed 'had attempted to break down the fences in an attempt to gain entry to the Monumental Stadium, and it is in this unclear context, for now, that the incident took place. 'We are working with all the technical resources available, including the cameras on site, to determine how the events unfolded.' Morales added that no arrests have been made although 'the person who was driving the car is currently a suspect', adding there was 'no reason to warrant his arrest at this time'. Despite the incidents ahead of the match, the game kicked off and proceeded normally until its suspension in the 72nd minute, when a group of Colo-Colo fans invaded the pitch amid the situation.
