Meanwhile, U president Michael Clark pointed in the opposite direction: "Clearly, there is an organizing club. We didn't place people where they were, we had nothing to do with the security systems."
Meanwhile, the tournament awaits a decision. Alianza Lima is already in the quarterfinals and is waiting for an opponent that will be determined in an office in Asunción, where Independiente's fate seems increasingly compromised.
All possible sanctions that Independiente could face
CONMEBOL's Disciplinary Regulations state in Article 18:
a) Warning.
b) Reprimand, admonition, or notice.
c) Financial penalty, which shall never be less than ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS (USD 100) nor more than FOUR HUNDRED THOUSAND US DOLLARS (USD 400,000).
d) Annulment of the result of a match.
e) Replay of a match.
f) Deduction of points.
g) Determination of the result of a match.
h) Obligation to play a match behind closed doors.
i) Total or partial closure of the stadium.
j) Prohibition to play a match in a specific stadium.
k) Obligation to play a match in a third country.
l) Disqualification from ongoing competitions and/or exclusion from future competitions.
m) Withdrawal of a title or award.
n) Withdrawal of license.
o) Prohibition of selling and/or purchasing tickets.
It should be clarified that, since the match was canceled and not suspended, it will not be resumed, so the most likely outcome is that both teams will be eliminated from the competition, although this is not yet official.
