A Copa Libertadores match between Independiente Medellín of Colombia and Brazil’s Flamengo is suspended after being halted early in the game. According to reporting from The Independent and the Winnipeg Free Press, the disruption occurs after about three minutes when supporters in the stadium protest using flares. The flare protest leads to the match being stopped shortly after kickoff, rather than continuing under normal conditions. The available accounts focus on the timing and cause of the stoppage, highlighting that the event is interrupted almost immediately and that fan behavior is the trigger for the suspension. Details beyond the initial stoppage—such as the duration of the suspension, any sanctions, or whether the match will be resumed at a later time—are not provided in the excerpts available from the sources. The incident is therefore described primarily as an early match interruption during the Libertadores fixture attributed to a supporter protest involving flares.
