Mexican fans continue to engage in acts of violence, with the latest incident taking place in Tijuana ahead of the match between Xolos and Leon on Matchday 16 of the Clausura 2023.
In videos circulating on social media, a fierce brawl between fans of both Liga MX teams can be seen in the vicinity of the Estadio Caliente. According to initial reports, the brawl left five people injured, including one seriously, although his life is not in danger.
One of the most horrible moments saw one person kicked directly in the face and ended up unconscious on the ground, while there were also exchanges of fists among others. It is important to remember that from Matchday 16 onwards, fans will have to go to the stadiums with Fan ID, in order to have more control and try to avoid acts of violence in Liga MX.
