A 23-year-old fan died after falling 30 metres from a executive box at the end of a Peruvian derby marred by crowd trouble, the Alianza Lima club said Sunday.
Alianza demanded that the stadium of arch-rivals Universitario be closed following the incident which they said happened when fans of the home club burst into VIP boxes and attacked the occupants at the end of Saturday's match.
"I request the veto of Universitario's Monumental stadium as there is no guarantee of safety, what happened to this Alianza fan is deplorable," Alianza president Guillermo Alarcon told the club's website (www.alianzalima.com)
"We were also attacked, we had difficulty getting out, our buses had to wait for one hour," he added. "We are not playing at the Monumental stadium again, it's unacceptable that there are acts of violence at this stadium."
