At least 22 fans were injured Saturday evening when a brawl erupted in the stands during a soccer match at Estadio Corregidora in Santiago de Queretaro, Mexico.
Security opened gates to the field, enabling fans to seek safety on the pitch as violence broke out during the 62nd minute of the Liga MX contest between Queretaro and Atlas, which was leading 1-0 and is the defending Liga MX champion. Referee Fernando Guerrero stopped the game, which was later suspended.
“I strongly condemn today’s violence at the Corregidora Stadium,” Mauricio Kuri, the governor of Queretaro State, tweeted.
