Eibar (Spain) (AFP) – At least two people were injured after a barrier at Ipurua football stadium in Eibar collapsed as Sevilla supporters celebrated a goal, according to Spanish television footage on Saturday.
After a penalty scored by Ever Banega in the 59th minute, Sevilla fans rushed to the bottom of the away stand.
A protective barrier gave way under the pressure and several supporters fell through.
