He Independiente Medellín received a sanction for the attack on Pablo Ceppelini in the classic paisa on April 21where A knife thrown from the lower north stand of the Atanasio Girardot stadium hit the player’s head.
In this way, the Disciplinary Commission decided a partial suspension of the lower north stand, sector 14, for two dates. Furthermore, he imposed a fine to the DIM of thirteen million pesos ($13,000,000).
The red club had requested to archive the case, but The Dimayor Disciplinary Commission was forceful in its decision.
The main referee, Wílmar Roldán detailed what happened in his report. “At minute 90+1′, while taking a corner kick, they threw a blunt object (knife) from the corner between the North and East stands. The object hit player #10 of Atlético Nacional Pablo Ceppelini, who after receiving medical attention for 2 minutes was able to continue.”
If Medellín qualifies for the semi-final home runsHe will have to pay that penalty in his first two home gamesotherwise he will serve the punishment at the start of the League next semester.
The attack on Ceppelini adds up to other acts of violence in Colombian footballand Dimayor wants to take measures to combat violence.
It is hoped that this case will not be repeated, as it was a reminder of the importance of safety in sports venues.
It is still necessary that stronger measures be taken to eradicate violence in football.
