The Shipyard Classic this Sunday, corresponding to the eleventh date of the second stage of the LigaPro was suspended, following having played just 3 minutes. Barcelona SC decided to withdraw from the Capwell Stadium pitch in protest at the throwing of a bottle that hit defender Carlos Rodríguez, while the Canaries were celebrating a goal that was later annulled when judge Franklin Congo reviewed the VAR and detected a handball.
This season is not the first time that abnormal situations have occurred at the Capwell regarding public misbehavior.

The sanction was applied to Emelec for the incidents at the end of the match once morest Independiente del Valle
The electricians also received financial penalties for other events reported in their property.
After Emelec’s 3-2 defeat once morest the Rayados, fans invaded the field of play and objects were also thrown at the visiting footballers from the stands on San Martín Street.
On its website, the Professional Soccer League of Ecuador made public the minutes of sanctions of date two and it is mentioned that there was “throwing of an object with impact”. So the blues are punished with “prohibition from playing their next home game at George Capwell Stadium,” it was added.
The Dark South, in 2006
This is the second time that a Shipyard Classic has been paralyzed due to incidents of this type. The first postponement occurred on April 30, 2006. On May 1, 16 years ago, EL UNIVERSO reported that the match between the Electricians and the Canaries “did not end last night. Emelec won 3-0 once morest Barcelona when there were acts of vandalism caused by alleged fans of the Sur Oscura bar in the Capwell; 50 minutes were played. The fans damaged the meshes of the tribune area of the San Martín sector, destroyed the press box that works in that sector and looted communication and radio equipment, attacked journalists and clashed with the National Police , who might not control the excesses”.
It was added that “the incident began following Argentine striker Luis Escalada scored Emelec’s third goal, at minute 47. Seconds later, a piece of bathroom ware thrown from the Sur Oscura sector hit the leg of Emelec’s assistant. line number two, Yonis Aragón. The central judge Pedro Ramos observed the situation and suspended the engagement momentarily. However, the referee decided to end it when the violence, by the alleged members of the Sur Obscura gang, was uncontrollable and there were no guarantees for the match to continue.
That 2006 Shipyard Classic that Emelec won 3-0 (with a brace from Escalada and a goal from Mondaini) was resumed 24 hours later, without an audience, and ended 3-2 (David García and Rafael Ueta discounted).
On May 15, 1983, there was a suspension, but not for violent acts. The cause was an intense rain that fell on Guayaquil, flooded the area of the Modelo stadium and prevented the Clásico del Astillero from ending. Referee José Mendiburo stopped the game at 35 minutes and 30 seconds. Emelec won 1-0 (with a penalty goal from Uruguayan Juan Ramón Silva). On Monday, May 16, following the restart, Jesús Cárdenas increased the score for the electricians, who won 2-1. Lorenzo Klínger scored for Barcelona. (D)
