The sixth-round match between Santa Fe and América de Cali in Liga BetPlay II—2026 was stopped in the 32nd minute at Nemesio Camacho El Campín after disturbances broke out in the stands. What began in the oriental-norte section escalated quickly enough that the unrest moved onto the field, forcing police to step in.
As the situation worsened, players, coaching staff and the referees led by Alejandro Moncada were taken to the dressing rooms. The interruption changed the focus of the evening from the league table to crowd control and safety, with the match left in an uncertain state.
What happened at El Campín
According to the transmission, the trouble was linked to the theft of a trapo, and the disorder spread from the stands to the pitch. That is the point at which officials halted play. Once the incident reached the field, the priority shifted to getting everyone off safely and restoring order around the stadium.
News Caracol said the match would not resume until the necessary guarantees were in place. That left the restart unresolved, with no immediate return to action announced during the interruption.
Why it matters
This was not just a brief pause in play. The sixth jornada match between Santa Fe and América de Cali was interrupted by violence that affected the players, staff and referees directly. With the game stopped in the 32nd minute, the result and the positions in the contest were left unsettled while authorities dealt with the security situation.
For now, the key detail is simple: the match was suspended, everyone was moved to the dressing rooms, and any restart depended on guarantees being given first.
