This afternoon, national soccer was plunged into mourning during the semifinal match between Club Deportivo FAS and Alianza, who were playing at Cuscatlán Stadium in San Salvador.

In the first moments, reports indicated that more than 8 people had lost their lives and that there were more than a hundred injured, when fans knocked down one of the gates in the Sol General section.

Comandos de Salvamento, which was providing coverage for the match, intervened to provide first aid to the people who managed to reach the playing field, where they were stabilized while several ambulances transported the injured.

Comandos de Salvamento moved nearly 15 ambulances to attend to the tragedy that occurred this afternoon at Cuscatlán Stadium. So far, the exact number of people who died, as well as the number of injured, remains unknown, since rescuers are still working tirelessly.
