Colombia Plane Crash; Brazilian Club 'Fined £25k For Missing Final Match Of Season'.

The Brazilian football club whose squad was wiped out in a Colombian plane crash has been fined £25,000 for missing their final match of the season, it has been claimed. Nineteen players from Chapecoense were among the 71 killed when their plane crashed down on its way from Santa Cruz, Bolivia to Medellin, Colombia last month.

The team were on their way to compete in the first leg of the Copa Sudamericana final against Atletico Nacional.

According to the Mirror, the club has now been fined about £25,000 for failing to fulfil their final fixture of the season - a game against league rivals Atletico Mineiro.

Although the final round of matches in the Brazilian championship was due to have been played on December 1, it was agreed that the game against Mineiro would not be played in the wake of the tragedy.

But the Superior Court of Justice is said to have decided to punish both clubs for not playing the fixture as planned.

Just six people survived the crash including players Alan Ruschel, Follmann and Neto. The other survivors were a journalist and two members of the flight crew.

The journalist, Brazilian radio star Rafael Henzel has since claimed the pilot never told passengers to fasten their seatbelt before the aircraft smashed into a hillside.

He spoke with Fantastico programme on Sunday night from Colombia, where he is recovering.

'At no point did someone from the cabin or the crew tell us, 'Put on your seatbelts,'' said Henzel. 'We just kept flying without any idea of what was about to happen.'

Investigations have been launched in Brazil, Bolivia and Colombia. Colombian authorities have said they believe a lack of fuel caused the crash.
