“My condolences to the families and friends of the fans who passed away today. I know they will continue to inspire us from the heavens,” Vidal wrote.

It should be noted that the tragedy occurred due to a crush in the stands, as some fans tried to enter the match without tickets. Unable to withstand the pressure of the crowd, a metal barrier collapsed, crushing two Colo-Colo fans, an 18-year-old girl and a 13-year-old boy.

An official statement of condolences was also made on Instagram by Colo-Colo, which announced the cancellation of the Arengazo event, scheduled for April 11, as a sign of mourning.

Additionally, the match between Colo-Colo and Fortaleza was not completed — it was prematurely stopped in the 72nd minute with the score at 0-0.
