adminSAO PAULO. — Three fans remained hospitalised yesterday a day after violent clashes erupted during a football league match in southern Brazil, hospital officials said. On Sunday, fans of Atletico Paranaense and Vasco da Gama fought running battles in the stands at the stadium in the city of Joinville from as early as the 17th minute when Atletico took a 1-0 lead. A police helicopter was forced to land on the pitch to bring the violence, which lasted more than one hour, to an end and allow medical help to the injured. Four spectators were rushed to San Jose hospital in Joinville, in the southern state of Santa Catarina, but one was released shortly afterwards. Two more were still under observation and expected to leave the hospital yesterday, while the other was to be moved to a private clinic. — AFP.
