World Cup Fans Storm Stadium in Chaotic Scene

RIO DE JANEIRO — It was a scary moment outside Maracanã Stadium about an hour ahead of the Spain-Chile match on Wednesday after a mob of around 100 fans wearing Chilean soccer jerseys broke through an entrance to storm the park

Most of the World Cup fans appeared to run for the media center, the closest door to the stadium entrance through which they broke.

That led to a chaotic scene. Stadium security guards, who covered their faces as they tried to create a perimeter around the fans, detained at least 30 people.
