A Colombian was stabbed to death during a fight between Atletico Nacional rivals at dawn on Friday (11) in Porto Alegre. According to police, the victim is Alejandro Lopera Zuluaga, 28. The crime happened after the Colombian team’s game against Internacional for the Copa Libertadores de America.
The Military Brigade reported that the victim was placed in an application car to be taken to a hospital. Along the way, the vehicle stopped at a policing point, when the Mobile Emergency Care Service (Samu) was triggered to confirm the death.
In the fight, another Colombian fan was also injured. According to the delegate responsible for the case, RaÃssa Araújo, this man would have tried to escape, but other Atletico fans prevented. He was taken to the hospital and underwent surgery. The victim’s health is very serious.
Police are seeking to identify everyone involved.
Hostile climate
According to witnesses, the rivalry among Atletico Nacional fans is very hostile and conflicts like this are common in the country. Delegate Mario Souza, who is also ahead of the case, said there were several fights at dawn.
As they walked together, the groups cursed, teased and even pushed themselves, which caused small fights after the game. “There were several fights and riots between them, but quickly and hostile,” added the delegate.
The delegate added that the Colombian team fans were separated inside the stadium.
