12 Dead After Stampede at El Salvador Soccer Match; Club Banned From Stadium, Fined

people were killed and dozens injured in a stampede at a Salvadoran soccer league match after fans knocked down a gate to enter the stadium.
Alianza FC was banned from their stadium for one year, fined $30,000, and must play without fans for violating security policies.
The stampede occurred because the stadium only had two small gates open despite many fans with tickets remaining outside.
Play was suspended as fans were carried onto the field for medical treatment; a criminal investigation is underway to determine blame.
Alianza's opponent, CD FAS, was declared the winner by default and advances to the next round of the playoffs.
