Police say 59 injured after fans riot at Colombian cup final

Medellin Mayor Federico Gutierrez said there would be consequences for those who attended Wednesday's Colombia Cup final to "generate violence" after 59 people were injured, including seven police officers, in clashes between rival fans, Reuters reported. 

Violence broke out after Atletico Nacional defeated Medellin rival Deportivo Independiente Medellin 1-0 in the second leg of the Copa Colombia final at Estadio Atanasio Girardot.

Local police commander William Castano told news channel Teleantioquia that officers had seized weapons, flares and fireworks from fans during checks at the stadium, according to Reuters.
