But the rain did not stop, the field suffered the consequences, the ball no longer rolled and this forced the central judge to suspend the game at minute 57.

Conmebol inspectors assess the situation while working on the field’s drainage. However, since the rain does not diminish, it is difficult to resume the game. The teams are sheltered pending the final decision.

10:50 p.m., The decision is to hope that the match can continue, since there is difficulty in rescheduling the remainder of the match.

“Until 11:30 pm”, the wait in El Campín to resume was confirmed.
