Guadalajara is the capital of Jalisco state, and Atlas has also had issues recently with violence among its fans. State authorities said some police were on duty at the stadium, but that it was largely staffed by private security officers. One fan could be seen pulling a knife to cut the nets of one goal. He also pledged to investigate whether authorities or anyone else had been remiss in not quelling the violence. Queretaro Gov. Mauricio Kuri said Sunday: “What happened yesterday fills me with pain, with shame and a lot of rage. Security personnel opened the gates to the field so that fans, including women and children, could escape the stands. Other Queretaro players, including Uruguayan goalie Washington Aguerre, stayed near the bench trying to calm the fans. Our thoughts are with all those who suffered its consequences,” the statement said.
