The civil protection services in Mexico said that two people were seriously injured out of 22 injured during these events, denying rumors of several deaths.
But the news circulating through the local media stated that the clashes between the masses resulted in the death of at least 15 people, which is supported by the bloody videos that spread on social media.

"The violence in the La Corregidora stadium in Queretaro is unacceptable and regrettable," the Mexican League said on Twitter. "Extraordinary sanctions will be imposed on those responsible for the lack of security in the stadium."

Atlas club demanded an investigation to determine responsibility for the violence, and Queretaro club condemned what happened among the fans at its stadium.
These events are expected to affect Mexico's bid to host the 2026 World Cup, as it shares one file with the United States and Canada.
Crazy.
