Dozens injured as fans clash at Mexico football match

Fights broke out just after the hour mark of Saturday's game between Queretaro and Atlas at La Corregidora stadium in the city of Queretaro.

As some fans, including families with children, tried to escape, the clashes spilled out onto the field of play, sending players running for cover. Of the 26 people taken to hospital, three have been discharged but "three are in a serious condition, 10 are in a delicate state and the other 10 are not serious," Queretaro state governor Mauricio Kuri said on Sunday.

"Even though there are no deaths, we cannot say this is not a tragedy," added Kuri.

World football's governing body FIFA hit out at the "unacceptable and intolerable" violence.

"FIFA joins the Mexican Football Association and Concacaf in condemning this barbaric incident and encouraging the local authorities to bring swift justice to those responsible," FIFA said.
