Chaotic scenes delayed the start of the Copa America final between Argentina and Colombia on Sunday by over 75 minutes after fans were kept waiting outside the venue for hours.

Tournament organisers halted entry into the ground and delayed kick-off of the South American football showpiece after fans rushed the entrance gates, clashing with security and leading to the gates being closed, two hours before kick off.

Fans were gradually, slowly, allowed into the venue, later, with some needing medical attention mainly for heat exhaustion. Shortly before the scheduled start of the game, gates were opened and fans were allowed to flood in - with no ticket checks.

This is a serious security breach at Hard Rock stadium. Just look at those kids and fans. All they wanted is to watch a Copa America final and have fun.
