From the article:

”Colombia lost the final 1-0 to Argentina after extra time in a game that was marred by crowd chaos in the runup, forcing the kickoff to be delayed. Miami-Dade police reported on Monday that there were 27 arrests and 55 ejections on Sunday after people without tickets had forced their way into Hard Rock Stadium.

Miami-Dade Fire Rescue also told ESPN that it responded to a total of 120 incidents at the stadium on Sunday, 116 of which were medical related.”

For f*ck’s sake.
