Five days following the reprehensible act of violence in Ibagué, where a fan entered the field to attack Daniel Cataño and the match ended up being suspended due to lack of guarantees, the Dimayor Disciplinary Committee revealed the sanctions for Deportes Tolima and the Millonarios player.
Cataño, who until a year ago played in red wine and gold, was suspended for responding to the attack; He received three dates for the red card that Wilmar Roldán showed him, while Deportes Tolima will have to play behind closed doors in the next four days.
The sanctions provoked different reactions, including Acolfutpro and Tolima itself. Nobody was happy with the decision, some wanted more dates, others wanted less. What was the big loser?
Undoubtedly, the big loser in this story was Colombian soccer. Nothing else was talked regarding during the week. The football actors asked to set a precedent so that the violent did not return to the stadiums and that this situation did not become customary. This episode aroused a new fear.
The Cataño attacker was sanctioned by the Government of Ibagué with three years without stepping on the Manuel Murillo Toro. A punishment that many reproach and see as a “warm water cloth”. Regarding Cataño and Tolima, they will also pay for the irresponsibility of that embarrassing chapter of the FPC.
Acolfutpro classified the sanction for the player as “unfair” and “disproportionate”. The Tolimense club, for its part, regretted that the actions of one person would end up affecting the institution financially and sportingly, so it will appeal the decision seeking to make the suspension of the place less.
Which games will Daniel Cataño miss due to the sanction?
The ’10’ of Millonarios is the main casualty of Alberto Gamero for the match once morest Jaguares, for date 5 of the League, in the first home game for the blues this 2023.
Daniel Cataño will also miss the duel once morest Once Caldas for matchday 6 at Palogrande and will finish paying his penalty on March 3 once morest Deportivo Cali on date 7. The midfielder will be ready to return once morest Atlético Nacional on March 12. That is, he will be able to play the pending duel once morest Tolima at the end of the month.
What dates will Deportes Tolima play behind closed doors?
Although the red wine and gold announced that it will appeal the sanction of four dates without an audience, the decision of the Dimayor Disciplinary Committee is that it play behind closed doors once morest Deportivo Cali this Sunday for date 5. The following matches are La Equidad (date 8 ), Atlético Huila (date 10) and Millionaires (date 4).
Those led by Hernán Torres would once once more play with fans in the stands from matchday 12 when they host Deportivo Pasto. It should be remembered that on March 9 Tolima will play once morest Junior for the Copa Sudamericana and will be able to have an audience because it is an international competition.
