One person died Thursday when violent clashes near a soccer match outside Buenos Aires between Boca Juniors and Gimnasia y Esgrima spilled into the stadium and onto the pitch, authorities said.

The unrest continued inside, where shocked spectators were seen squeezing through fencing to escape the violence and get onto the field. Click here for full story.
