At least one person died and 60 others were injured in what seemed to be a crush of fans at a popular football team’s stadium in the Peruvian capital on Friday night, authorities reported.

Police said officers rescued people trapped as a result of an influx of Alianza Lima fans in the south stands of the Alejandro Villanueva Stadium the night before their team’s scheduled game against their biggest rival, Universitario.

Earlier, the Ministry of Health had reported the collapse of a wall inside the stadium. Both the police and Alianza Lima denied this in separate statements.

He said the cause of the tragedy is not yet known.
