The exact circumstances of the incident at the match between leaders River Plate and Defensa y Justicia at the Estadio Monumental in Buenos Aires were initially unclear. River Plate said there was no third-party influence during the fall. So the dead man was a River fan who was also a member of the club. The stands were 90 percent full and there was no violence.
The stadium – the largest in the South American country with a capacity of more than 83,000 seats – was reportedly evacuated within 30 minutes. The security forces and a special unit of the public prosecutor’s office for major events have launched the investigation. It was a day of deep sadness, River Plate wrote on Twitter. The coach of the team is ex-Bundesliga player Martín Demichelis.
In Argentine football there are always outbreaks of violence and problems due to overcrowded stadiums. Guest fans have therefore not been allowed into the stadiums in the league since 2013. (sda/dpa)
