Copa America Final Delayed Due to Ticketless Fans
Thousands of Fans Without Tickets Delay Final
Delay Lasts for Over an Hour
The Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia was delayed at least 30 minutes on Sunday evening due to thousands of fans without tickets attempting to enter the stadium. The delay lasted for over an hour, and the match eventually kicked off at 9:30 PM EDT.
The fans without tickets had gathered outside the stadium gates earlier in the day, and they attempted to force their way into the stadium when the gates opened. Police were forced to use tear gas to disperse the crowd, and several people were injured in the melee.
The delay was a major inconvenience for the fans who had purchased tickets to the match, and it also caused a logistical headache for the organizers. The match was eventually played in front of a reduced crowd, and Argentina emerged victorious with a 1-0 win.
