UP TO 40 Chile fans broke into the media centre at the Maracana in Rio de Janeiro this evening, destroying a temporary wall in an attempt to get into their game with Spain, according to widespread reports from the stadium.
As can be seen from this clip, security staff were overwhelmed by the fans:

About 45 minutes before kickoff, journalists on the scene began tweeting that a group of Chile fans had broken through the entrance.
