Numerous fans injured in violent clashes at soccer match in Argentina as stadium was set on fire, seats thrown
CBS1 day
It's unacceptable that police did nothing to prevent and stop clashes, especially as Chilean fans went to Avellaneda with the clear intent of wreaking havoc in a crowded stadium. In the face of police inaction and previous attacks from away fans, Independiente supporters resorted to violence, attacking Universidad de Chile fans.
It's clear that police inaction was a key factor leading to this disgraceful incident, but the responsibility of Independiente fans must not be overlooked. Numerous videos expose the cruelty of unruly supporters as they viciously attacked the remaining away fans.
