In Chile’s Copa Chile, the last-16 meeting between Universidad de Chile and Everton has been overshadowed by incidents that interrupted the sporting focus of the tie.
The Chilean Football Federation has decided that the contest will be settled through a special arrangement after the events surrounding the match. The fixture had brought Universidad de Chile and Everton together in the round of 16 of the national cup.
A flare was seen during the game, one of the incidents that prompted the federation’s intervention. The authorities will therefore determine how the tie is concluded rather than allowing its outcome to follow the usual course.
