Terrifying images from South America have made the world around. The match between Independiente and Universidad de Chile did not end on the field due to a violent beat between supporters in the stands.
It all started when the Chilean fans began to throw with the projectiles from the Pavoni stand for the supporters of the Argentine team, which were in the lower stand. They lit fires and threw torches, chairs and bottles, according to Sportal.blic.rs.

In a video you can see how a hooligan hits a child with a stick in his head, after which the boy falls unconsciously. For fear of the consequences, some supporters began to jump from the stands, many of them suffering serious injuries.
According to information in the local press, dozens of people were seriously injured while one even lost their lives, according to Brand. Over 300 people were arrested.
It seems that the situation in the stands escalated after his independent supporters had previously stole a flag of rivals, a gesture that angered the Chile.
