Dozens injured during fan brawl at Liga MX game between Atlas, Queretaro

Saturday's Liga MX match between Queretaro and Atlas was suspended following scenes of violence in the stands that spilled onto the pitch of the Estadio Corregidora in Santiago de Queretaro, Mexico.

During the 63rd minute of the match, fans sprinted onto the field to avoid fights that had broken out between supporters of the rival teams. With the score at 1-0 in favor of Atlas, referee Fernando Guerrero stopped the game as more fans began to seek safety on the field.

Guerrero suspended the match initially in hopes order would be restored. However, the violence continued to spread across the upper bowl of the stadium, which hosted World Cup games in 1986.
