This Saturday saw the anniversary of the Hillsborough disaster, when 96 English football fans lost their lives.

Not that they were paying much heed to that over in Argentina, where a derby match between Belgrano and Talleres resulted in the death of a spectator.

The incident happened on Saturday, although 22-year-old Emanuel Balbo passed away on Monday.

This one isn’t a standard ‘rivalry between fans escalates into violence’, though, as the Telegraph explains:

[He] fell five meters (17 feet) at his football team Belgrano’s stadium in the northern city of Cordoba on Saturday, video images showed.

He had quarreled with a man whom he accused of being responsible for the death of Balbo’s brother in a traffic accident in 2012, the victim’s father Raul said on television.

Witnesses said the man responded by shouting that Balbo was a disguised fan of Belgrano’s derby rivals in the match, Talleres.

That prompted the crowd to attack Balbo, who fled down the steps before being pushed over the edge of the stand.

He lay for two days with severe head injuries in hospital, where doctors declared him brain dead.

These would be the exact moments that led up to Balbo’s death:

Police have arrested four men in connection with the attack, and it’s estimated that more than 40 people have died in football-related violence in the country since 2013.

At times, not quite the beautiful game.

The rivalry above might be grabbing all the headlines, but it’s the Boca Juniors – River Plate derby that is usually Argentina’s most fierce.

Here’s a little BBC look at the rivalry from a few year’s back:
