In a statement released by Hard Rock Stadium, the venue said that fans without tickets had “attempted to forcibly enter the stadium” which created an “extreme risk.” Fans wearing soccer jerseys could be seen sprinting by the camera, and at one point one shirtless fan could be seen being grabbed by a uniformed officer.
In a statement of their own, CONMEBOL, the event organizer, said that “people who do not have tickets will not be able to enter the stadium. Only those who have purchased tickets will be able to enter the stadium once the gates are reopened.”The chaos outside of the stadium pushed back the start time of the match to 9:15 p.m. and the gates were closed at 6 p.m, as authorities tried to regain control of the situation.
