Coquimbo Unido must appear before the ANFP Disciplinary Tribunal after a pyrotechnics incident brought its match against Huachipato to a halt and left the visiting goalkeeper with acoustic trauma.
The club, known as the Pirates, will attend a remote hearing on Tuesday, Sept. 8. The summons follows a complaint from referee Nicolás Gamboa after the match at Francisco Sánchez Rumoroso was canceled.
The incident occurred in the 68th minute, when Coquimbo supporters threw noise bombs to mark the club’s anniversary. The devices were directed toward the field and landed near Huachipato goalkeeper Christian Bravo, who suffered an acoustic injury.
The ANFP ordered the match to continue from the point at which it stopped. The final 22 minutes will be played at the Municipal de La Cisterna in Santiago, a neutral venue, on Wednesday, Sept. 16, at 6 p.m.
