Copa Libertadores match stopped by tear gas in a stadium with no fans

Nacional and Palestino squared off in Copa Libertadores on Thursday in front of an empty stadium. The stadium ban was issued after Nacional fans rioted in a previous match, and it was supposed to not just be a punishment, but a guarantee of safety.

And yet somehow, there was tear gas anyway.

Yep, that’s tear gas in an empty stadium. You can always count on sport to give you something new and different every day.
