The shocking pictures from Argentina cause horror, but are not an isolated case.
The pictures of the barbaric attacks and a Chilean fan that jumped off the stands to escape attacks further cause horror. But they are not an isolated case, but illustrate the security problems in Latin American football.
The Chilean President Gabriel Boric spoke of “unacceptable lynch murders” that the political instances in Argentina are blame.
Host independents blamed the guests for the incidents, although, according to the South American Football Association Conmebol, there was no continuation of the game due to “lack of security guarantees on the part of the home team”.
According to the player union, twelve games were canceled this year due to violence – only in Chile. In April, two fans died from a mass panic in the capital Santiago. Brazil, Argentina and Colombia have had to report three -digit deaths since the turn of the millennium.
There is an idea “that stadiums are places where violent acts are legitimate, not only physical violence, but also racism and homophobia,” said Argentine sociologist Diego Murze of the AFP news agency.
According to Murze, there is a “tribal logic that has always prevailed in football”, including a culture of provocation between fans that have “reappeared” in recent years.
The security measures in stadiums on the entire continent have long been tightened. Some clubs require biometric identification and have video surveillance in the stands.
The technology helps to identify locked offenders, but can often not prevent violence by previously unknown people with masked faces, as with the recent clashes in Argentina.
There was also a glare grenade under the thrown objects, the game in Buenos Aires was initially interrupted at 1: 1 in the 48th minute and finally broken off. The Chilean representative had won the first leg 1-0.
