Madness in Avellaneda! And no, unfortunately, it's not about football, but a violent act near the stadium while the Independiente - U de Chile match was being played, for the second leg of the Copa Sudamericana round of 16. 

The aggression erupted at halftime, when the Chilean team's fans threw projectiles. Everything worsened at the start of the second half, and the match had to be suspended, leading to a tragedy.  

A stampede surprised the attendees as the stands were being evacuated, and that's when the brawl between fans and even the police began. 

Horror Unleashed

The confrontation left us with images that no football fan should witness, as a person fell from the visiting stands. There was also a naked fan waiting for assistance in the stands, along with several bloodied individuals running outside the stadium.

For now, an official report from the authorities is awaited to know the aftermath, with reports suggesting there might be fatalities. 

For now, Conmebol has announced the official suspension of the match, and at the moment, the exact date and time to resume the game are unknown, but today football takes a back seat.
