At least one person died after police fired tear gas at fans outside Gimnasia’s stadium during the match against Boca Juniors in Argentina.<\/span><\/p>\n

Police also fired rubber bullets to try stop supporters getting into the already packed ground on Thursday.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

The game was called off after nine minutes, with fans spilling onto the pitch trying to escape the turmoil.<\/span><\/p>\n

Buenos Aires security minister Sergio Berni confirmed there was one death and that they “died of cardiac arrest”.<\/span><\/p>\n

Authorities at San Martin hospital in La Plata, the city where Gimnasia are based, also confirmed the death, that of a 57-year-old man because of cardiac arrest as he was being transferred from the stadium to the hospital.<\/span><\/p>\n

An estimated 10,000 fans were outside the 20,000-capacity stadium and unable to get in.<\/span><\/p>\n

Berni said an investigation would be opened, with the possible over-selling of tickets one area being looked at.<\/span><\/p>\n

Fans were squeezing through fencing to try to get onto the pitch of the Juan Carmelo Zerillo stadium in La Plata.<\/span><\/p>\n

Referee Hernan Mastrangelo said: “It affected all of us on the field.<\/span><\/p>\n

“The air became unbreathable. The situation got out of control and there were no security guarantees.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The events in Argentina took place in the wake of the recent <\/span>tragedy in Indonesia<\/span><\/a> when at least 131 people died.<\/span><\/p>\n

The disaster in Indonesia happened when police fired tear gas at fans who invaded the pitch after a game and hundreds tried to flee through the exits, which caused a deadly stampede.<\/span><\/p>\n
