The match between Independiente Santa Fe and América de Cali, part of the sixth round of the Liga BetPlay, ended in a 0-0 draw at El Campín Stadium. The Cardinals were looking to secure three points amid the difficult context of recent earthquake victims in Colombia.

During the match, disturbances were reported in the stands when a group of fans invaded the pitch. According to reports, the police intervened, dispersing the supporters with tear gas, which led to a temporary stoppage of the game.

Despite the violence, both teams returned to the field and continued the match. With this result, América de Cali remains the league leader with an additional point in their favor.

The incidents have sparked concern among fans and sports authorities, who are under pressure to ensure safety at future matches.
