The match between Pumas and América was marred by an altercation in the stands, showing that violence in sports venues continues despite the measures implemented by the league to prevent it. Images revealed a man wearing a white shirt repeatedly hitting another fan who was seeking refuge with a woman.
After two days, the aggressor was identified, who attacked the Pumas fan. Despite the expulsion of Piero Quispe, the team could not react to the goal scored by Israel Reyes, ending the game 0-2 and eliminating Pumas from the opportunity to compete for the championship, while Chivas climbed to tenth place in the table by winning their match against Pachuca.
Club América won the Clásico Capitalino 2-0 against Pumas at the Estadio Olímpico Universitario, while a fan identified as Raúl Uriel Silva Figueroa, a player for the Burros Blancos of IPN and supporter of América, assaulted two people and was forced to delete his social media accounts to avoid negative comments.
Authorities have taken measures regarding this, banning for life those who commit acts of violence in stadiums. Raúl Uriel Silva Figueroa, 25 years old and former captain of the Burros Blancos of ONEFA, was involved in the altercation. Pumas, coached by Gustavo Lem, will face Tijuana away in the next double round of Liga MX, with the intention of redeeming themselves after the defeat against América.
