In a statement to a television channel, the Minister of Security of Buenos Aires Province, Sergio Berni, announced that many fans tried to enter the stadium by force, around the Juan Carmelo Zerillo Stadium, where the match was played, and incidents broke out between the police and the fans.
Berni said that at the same time, 57-year-old former football player Cesar Gustavo Regueiro had a heart attack while leaving the stadium and died before he could reach the hospital.
The referee of the match, Hernan Mastrangelo, postponed the Gimnasia-Boca Juniors match in the 9th minute due to lack of security.
In the images reflected from the stadium, it is seen that many fans and some football players were affected by the pepper gas thrown off the field.
The clash between the police and the fans is thought to have been caused by Gimnasia fans trying to force their way in after the doors were closed due to a possible overselling of match tickets.
It was reported that about 100 people, including police officers, were injured as a result of the events.
In the images reflected on social media, it is seen that the police started to intervene after a group of fans had an argument with the police.
In the statement made on the Twitter account of the Boca Juniors team, it was reported that the condition of the players and the delegation participating in the match was good.
