At the local level, the prospects are not encouraging for Verde de la Montaña either, as it is in a low position in the BetPlay League, which intensifies the need for a speedy sporting recovery. As part of the response to this difficult time, the team has announced Pablo Repetto as its new coach, hoping to improve his performance both in the league and in future international competitions.

The clashes between part of the fans and the security forces became evident through various videos that circulated on the Internet. The acts of violence arose following an already tense atmosphere that reigned since the beginning of the match, marked by the massive attendance of the public and open criticism of the Paisa club’s board of directors by its followers.

According to reports from the Noticias Caracol news program, members of the brave bands were stationed in the western sector of the sports venue to wait for the departure of the players’ bus, raising aggressive chants and demanding their resignation. The situation forced the players to stay longer inside the stadium to avoid direct confrontations.

In relation to the recent unrest, an official report has not yet been presented by the authorities, although these manifestations of discontent are not new. Atlético Nacional fans had already shown their disagreement with the team’s management on previous occasions, including a protest during a match once morest La Equidad and another meeting at Parque Banderas in Medellín.

In addition, the team faced the possibility of a sanction by the Major Division of Colombian Football (Dimayor), following incidents of violence and disorders in a match once morest La Equidad, when fans invaded the field of play to demand the players. This is the third incident with Paisa fans in less than a month, following they set fire to the chairs in the south stand, in an act of protest that put the safety of those attending the stadium at risk.
