The intense downpour helped to disperse the violent and the work of the authorities controlled the situation, but around 6:10 pm the total evacuation of the scene was ordered.

The Police informed the clubs that there are no guarantees for the development of the show, for which the delegates of the visiting club affirmed that for this reason they are not willing to play without those necessary security conditions. The match was consequently abandoned.

Fernando Jaramillo, president of Dimayor, said in Win Sports that there are no conditions: “very sad that this happens, that a fan hurts their team so much, we know that there are riots outside the stadium and inside, the south stand, which was controlled. We are not going to put the integrity of the players or the public itself at risk,” he declared.

A on turn, Juan Pablo Ramírez, Medellín’s security secretary, reported that the guarantees are not given and “the game is cancelled.”

When would it be played? “We hope that if it is not played today it can be done tomorrow behind closed doors. It is because of the Nacional and América calendar, it is what I have in mind, I am waiting for the signing of the minutes to find out if there are conditions and it would be postponed until tomorrow at 10 in the morning, we cannot afford for something to happen and tomorrow we will regret worse incidents. We understand the damage to football but those who make the football show are above it,” he concluded.

Regarding this initial date, it was expected that the América match against Boyacá Chicó would also be postponed from Wednesday to Thursday to guarantee the rest of the players. In fact, the Boyacá club anticipated on its social networks the availability to play this Thursday as an official decision. Dimayor did not confirm it.

However, Atlético Nacional did not agree to play this Monday thinking about their own Copa Libertadores commitment, next Thursday, and the necessary movement of the calendar, according to Navarro. In addition, he is very concerned that from one day to the next things have not calmed down with the baristas and new incidents arise, as confirmed by President Mauricio Navarro. A detail that he did not recognize but that also influences is the economic problem that would generate the sale of 38 thousand tickets that could hardly be replaced on a Monday morning.

América, which has shown its support for Nacional and its institutions, announced in a statement that the game is effectively suspended and confirmed that on Wednesday it will meet with Boyacá Chicó.

The definitive date has not yet been made official after several meetings between directors of Nacional and América with the Dimayor authorities, but unofficially it is assured that it would be in the month of May.
