San Luis de Quillota will play its next two home matches without spectators after the ANFP Disciplinary Tribunal imposed a sanction for violent incidents during the women's Ascenso Femenino classic against Unión La Calera. The decision comes after local fans displayed aggressive behavior at the Estadio Lucio Fariña.

During the match on August 2nd, which was the final group stage game, home supporters reacted violently. The referee's report detailed that fans threw objects, hurled insults, and spat at the visiting players. This behavior escalated, leading to a brawl in the stands and disrupting the game.

In addition to the fan misconduct, the report also noted a provocative celebration by a player from Unión La Calera. However, the primary focus of the disciplinary action was the actions of the San Luis supporters. The club's expulsion of Agustina Moya was also upheld as part of the sanctions.
