The Argentine league match between Gimnasia La Plata and Boca Juniors was abandoned after fans clashed with police.
The match was stopped after nine minutes by referee Hernan Mastrangelo due to serious incidents outside the stadium that led the police to fire tear gas.
Fans of the Gimnasia team tried to force their way into the stadium. The fans were forced to retreat by the police.
The minister of security for the province of Buenos Aires said there was a dead person. He died when he was in the hospital. There were pictures of players and fans covering their faces when the tear gas entered the field.
Berni didn't give any details about the death.
The AFA repudiates the events that took place in the vicinity of Gimnasia stadium and expresses its commitment to eradicate this kind of incidents that tarnishes the spirit of football.
Gimnasia fans were not allowed to attend the game in La Plata because of the violence that broke out.
The 2-year-old couldn't breathe. We are concerned about the people in the stands. It's crazy. We were playing a football game and it made us feel like our relatives were almost dead.
At least 125 people died at a soccer match in Indonesia on Saturday after police fired tear gas inside the stadium, causing chaotic scenes in which fans were trampled on.
The police use of tear gas was the focus of attention. Police beat the witnesses with sticks and shields before shooting at the crowd.
The Indonesian police chief and nine elite officers were removed from their posts on Monday as the government tried to figure out what led to the use of force.
