League vows zero tolerance, deploying 2,300 officers at Nemesio Díez for Saturday's Toluca–América match.

Overview

  • Videos show a large confrontation outside América’s hotel during a fan serenata, with bottles, rocks and pyrotechnics thrown as hotel staff sheltered supporters inside.
  • Reports cited injuries that included a pregnant woman and a minor, and at least one América fan with a visible head wound, alongside damage to nearby vehicles.
  • Witnesses said police intervention was slow, and by Saturday there were no arrests reported and no official injury count from authorities.

  • América’s Ritual del Kaoz announced it will skip the pre-match caravan for safety reasons, while some fans posted online warnings that the attack “will have consequences.”
