Overview
- The Superclásico between Olimpia and Cerro Porteño, halted near the 30th minute Sunday, was suspended after confrontations between organized supporters and riot police at Defensores del Chaco in Asunción.
- Riot units entered the Cerro Porteño end and fired rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse disorder, with the gas drifting into nearby family sections.
- Spectators fled onto the field as exits were opened to evacuate fans, and players from both teams left the pitch to shelter in the locker rooms.
- Hospital Barrio Obrero reported at least ten people treated for exposure and stress symptoms, with no serious injuries noted.
- The Paraguayan FA confirmed the suspension as the National Council for Security in Sports Events condemned the violence and opened an investigation that could bring administrative sanctions under Law No. 7269/2024, while club presidents demanded clarity on security failures.
