A stampede by fans at a quarterfinals soccer match in the Salvadoran league has left 12 people dead and injured dozens more, officials said early Sunday.
The crush happened when fans pushed through one of the entrance gates during Saturday's game between Alianza and Fas at Monumental stadium in Cuscatlan, which is about 25 miles northeast of the capital, Salvador soccer officials said.
"El Salvador is in mourning," said a statement from the press office of Salvadoran President Nayib Bukele, which confirmed that at least 12 people had died. Local television transmitted live images of the aftermath of the stampede by Alianza fans. Dozens made it onto the field where they received medical treatment. Fans who escaped the crush stood on the field furiously waving shirts attempting to review people lying on the grass barely moving.
