The atmosphere in El Campín exploded on Tuesday in the duel between Millionaires and Unión Magdalena, postponed from the first date of the Betplay 2025-II League. The game was suspended several minutes in the second half, when hundreds of shoes fell from the northern gallery on the field as a sign of protest against the leadership and the ambassadors.
The match between Millonarios and Unión Magdalena, for the Betplay 2025-II League, was arrested for several minutes after the fan ambassador launched hundreds of shoes as protest against managers and players in the middle of the team's sports crisis.

The scene did not arise from nothing. From the beginning, tension was already breathed: the stadium was not filled and in the stands there were abounded rags of protest against Enrique Camacho, Gustavo Serpa and the squad. Instead of the usual encouragement of breath, shouts of rejection were heard. Beckham David Castro's goal was held with lukewarmness, without the effusivity of other nights.
With the 2-1 score in favor of Union-who played with ten men after Ortíz expulsion in the first half-the patience was exhausted. The fans displayed more unconformity banners and, after the second Samario, the blue commands began the unprecedented rain of shoes, forcing the referee to stop the game.
While gathering them and logistics staff cleaned the land, in the Eastern Tribune a group of fans tried to jump into the field, but was contained by security. In the stands the cry was unanimous: “Let everyone go!”
The context explains fury. Millionaires reached this duel with just one point on five dates (four losses and one draw) and with his coach, David González, on the tightrope. The recent 3-1 defeat in Ibagué in front of Tolima increased the frustration of a fan who now literally demands players and managers to “put themselves in the shoes” of those who pay the ballot.
Union, urged by the descent, took advantage of chaos and confusion to maintain the advantage, while in the stands the protest calmed down gradually with the resumption of the game. What happened left an unprecedented postcard in Colombian football: the Campín turned into the stage of one of the most peculiar and forceful manifestations of the blue discontent.
