Soccer and Mexican society are in mourning. The confrontation recorded at the Corregidora Stadium is one of the darkest chapters in the history of Liga MX and is a tragedy that goes beyond the limits of sport. Violence was imposed on sport. The images of the brawl between fans of Gallos Blancos de Querétaro and Atlas de Guadalajara have gone around the world.
According to the most recent figures shared by the Queretaro government, the balance was 26 people injured, of which three are in serious condition, 10 in delicate condition, 10 in stable condition and three have been discharged. The state governor, Mauricio Kuri, was emphatic in his message on Sunday, March 6, and assured that “this is a tragedy despite not having deaths.”
So far there are more questions than answers about the events that took place in the Querétaro stadium. In this context, a follower of Atlas, identified as Willy, offered an interview to the Mediotiempo portal in which he recounted his experience during the confrontation recorded this weekend. The fan denounced that the Gallos Blancos animation groups “began to hit families, children and women indiscriminately: and that was the point of no return.”
The follower of Atlas de Guadalajara affirmed that there were no state security elements in the stadium and that they only placed agents outside the building. The fan assured that the members of the Querétaro bars toured the entire field to attack.
Some local media and social network users reported the death of people during the confrontation. However, state authorities have ruled out that this information is true and no deaths have been recorded so far. The fan consulted by Mediotiempo reported that although he saw unconscious people in the vicinity of the Corregidora Stadium, he was not aware that these people had lost their lives.
“I am not aware of it, I saw unconscious people in positions that are not normal for a living person… because they were disjointed, but I am not aware of it (…) The medical team will know more, but those versions do worry me” added the fan.
