To counteract this, police entered the field of play and illegally used tear gas on the supporters – after a crush within the ground led to the death of nearly 200 people.
It’s important to remember that the words of the authorities and the police cannot always be trusted in moments like this, as all wishes are sent to the families of those affected – let’s hope the truth of who is to blame comes to the fore and there is real justice for all guilty parties.
