MEXICO CITY: Mexican champions Leon beat Monterrey 2-0 away to end a run of four league matches without winning but their victory was marred by crowd violence from fan group called The Addiction.
Fans fought a running battle with riot police on the terraces in the final 10 minutes of Saturday’s match at the Tecnologico in the northern city of Monterrey noted for its drugs-related violence.
Fans who tried to jump on to the pitch were caught by police, handcuffed and left lying at the foot of the terraces until order was restored, according to pictures posted on the Record sports website (www.record.com.mx).
Monterrey were a man short for more than an hour after their former Olympique Lyon and Argentina striker Cesar Delgado was sent off in the 27th minute.
