In an exciting duel between Pumas and América, which ended with the Coapas winning 2-0 at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario, a regrettable episode of violence broke out in the stands. Raúl Uriel Silva Figueroa was identified as the aggressor who struck a Pumas fan while he was trying to protect a woman.
According to Silva Figueroa's account, the physical aggression began with a pull from the university student to his brother, which triggered a series of violent events. In the midst of the excitement over América's disallowed third goal, Silva Figueroa and his companion were intimidated and verbally and physically attacked.
The tense atmosphere in the stands worsened when the aggressor, who was accompanied by a drunken woman, began to insult and intimidate Silva Figueroa's group. In this situation, the incident was described as an act of self-defense by the affected parties, who felt compelled to respond to the aggression.
Despite the violent outcome, Silva Figueroa emphasized that at no time did he intend to harm the unprotected woman, stating that the reaction was a product of defense against the perceived threat. This regrettable incident has caused an uproar on social media and has called into question the safety and coexistence in football stadiums.
