The morning of Sunday December 17th, 2000 no Venezuelan imagined that later would produce one of the scariest episodes of violence linked to their country sport. While the world was alerted by the "mad cow" disease, citizens of Tachira awaited their own celebration: the victory of their soccer team in the final of the Copa República Bolivariana de Venezuela. But the postgame is the opposite of what is desired, because the result between Deportivo Táchira and Caracas sparked clashes between fans, players and police.
"Chronicle of a Final" narrates the dramatic event through some of its protagonists, while opening the door to reflection on violence in stadiums and the complexity of its causes and treatment. The testimonies also reveal differences between people of the capital and the provinces, which are manifested in the stands.
The clashes in the stands and football fields are a living history, cooling in remembrance of events like the one we saw in the Polideportivo de Pueblo Nuevo stadium. Among other characters, soccer players Alexander Rondón and Juan García, and coaches Carlos Maldonado and Carlos Moreno relive that day, as argued answers to the question: how to prevent violence in Venezuelan soccer?
