ONE MAN HAS been killed and several injured tonight as rival factions rioted before a supposed pre-season ‘friendly’ in Buenos Aires.
The match between San Lorenzo and Boca Juniors took place at San Lorenzo’s Nuevo Gasometro ground on the outskirts of the Argentine capital.
Local media reports (translated by Yahoo Sport ) said a 35-year-old man had died of a gunshot wound to his chest.
The game was suspended amid the riots with several more reported injured in the violence.
In the closing stages of last season, the Argentine FA had ordered all games to be played without visiting supporters after the death of a Lanus fan as crowds clashed with the police.
