Queretaro vs. Atlas Liga MX Match Suspended After Fans Suffer Injuries in Brawl

A Liga MX match between Queretaro and Atlas on Saturday was suspended because of violence involving fans in the stands.

Per ESPN's Cesar Hernandez, play was suspended in the second half after fans ran onto the field in an attempt to avoid a series of fights that broke out in the stands at Corregidora Stadium.

Referee Fernando Guerrero ordered the match be stopped in the 63rd minute with the hope of trying to restore order among the fans.

"However, the violence continued to spread across the upper bowl of the stadium, which hosted World Cup games in 1986," Hernandez wrote.
