At least 22 people were brutally injured - two of them seriously - after a football match descended into carnage in central Mexico yesterday.
Unconfirmed reports are circulating that up to 17 people could have died attending the game between the host Queretaro and Atlas from Guadalajara - the reigning league champion.
The match was suspended in the 62nd minute when multiple fights suddenly broke out in the stands - with men seen tearing off the jerseys of their rivals.
Security personnel opened the front gates to the field so that fans, including women and children, could escape the stands.
Players from visiting Atlas quickly fled to the locker rooms as did some from the Queretaro side. Other Queretaro players, including Uruguayan goalie Washington Aguerre, stayed near the bench trying to calm the fans.
Shocking footage shared online shows bloodied fans - some of them stripped naked - lying unresponsive outside the ground as others continue to kick and punch at them.
After several minutes fighting in the stands, some of the fights moved on to the field where they continued punching and kicking. Some revellers were armed with chairs and metal bars.
One fan could be seen pulling a knife to cut the nets of one goal. Others destroyed one side's bench and some fought in the tunnel to the field.

How very....Aztec....of them.
All this over a soccer game?
Great.
More soccer refugees to the U.S. - with full welfare benefits for life.
And, more soccer stadium fights-to-the-death in the U.S.
The cartels members are also soccer fans, so it’s not only sports rivalry it’s gang rivalry as well. Media wont talk about it.
Reference:
“In AD 59, there was a serious riot and bloodshed in the amphitheatre between Pompeians and Nucerians (which is recorded in a fresco) and which led the Roman senate to send the Praetorian Guard to restore order and to ban further events for a period of ten years.”
Go ahead give me yet another reason to hate soccer.
And FIFA is worried about Eh puto
But don’t call it a s@@@hole country.
Coming soon to a town near you.
And FIFA is worried about Eh puto
And Putin.
I remember back in the 70s when some green bay fan wearing his colors got the crap beat out of him in San Francisco and that isn’t all that unusual, especially in certain parts of town.
So, 20 of them were just "brutally injured", but not seriously...only brutally, not seriously brutally?
Still better than a weekend in Chicago.
What were the ones who were killed described as, if not “brutally”??
I’m surprised these stellar citizens haven’t already made the trek north.
