Major stadium disasters over the last 40 years
Saturday (Oct 1) night's football stadium disaster in Indonesia was one of the world's worst such incidents. Here is a look at some of the major disasters in football stadiums over the last 40 years:
Karim Benzema misses late penalty as Real Madrid held by Osasuna
Karim Benzema missed a late penalty as Real Madrid dropped their first points this season after being held to a 1-1 draw at home by Osasuna, who had a man sent off late on, in La Liga on Sunday. Vinicius Jr gave the champions the lead just before halftime with a long-range shot but the visitors equalised after the break through Kike Garcia, who scored with a brilliant header from the edge of the area that looped over the goalkeeper. Benzema fired his penalty off the bar and over in the 79th minute, after being fouled inside the area by defender Unai Garcia, who was shown a straight red card after a VAR check. The France striker had a goal chalked off a minute later for offside and Vinicius had a bullet shot kept out by Sergio Herrera a little later, as Real Madrid pressed for the win. Osasuna, however, held on to take a point to the frustration of the home fans.
