Chilean topflight clash between Colo-Colo and Universidad Catolica was forced to a stop towards the end of their meeting.

The match could not go beyond the 71st minute after fans threw flares and firecrackers onto the pitch and the match official had to act accordingly.

As mentioned earlier, the match did not reach its natural conclusion as a fight ensued, with rogue fans hurling items onto the pitch.

ColoColo star player Nicolas Blandi particularly left everyone in panic as he looked completely out of it after a flare went off right next to him.

Blandi went down in agony before receiving treatment and leaving the pitch while limping.

When the game proved too much to govern, referee Piero Maza Gomez ended the match with 19 minutes to go amid fears of the safety of players.

At the time the game was unceremoniously ended, Universidad Catolica were winning 2-0.

There was a moment of respite in the incident, however, when Catolica's keeper picked up a phone allegedly thrown at him by irate ColoColo supporters and went on to answer it.

Cameras caught the keeper placing the phone on his ear before handing the phone to another player.

Further reports indicate what started out as an in-field confrontation turned into a full criminal activity as several food stalls within the Estadio Monumental David Arellano in Santiago were looted.

Harold Mayne-Nicholls who is ColoColo’s executive vice chair commented on the incident where he condemned the violence as he vowed to bring those responsible to book.

"Clearly there was a security lapse. We will try to identify those involved and hopefully, they will never come to the stadium again."
