A football derby rally in Lima, Peru, ended in tragedy when a stadium incident left one fan dead and 47 others injured, three critically. Initial reports suggested structural collapse, but fire officials disputed this, stating the southern stands appeared intact. Alianza Lima later stated the incident wasn't linked to wall failures. The match proceeded despite the chaos.

Peruvian Health Minister Juan Carlos Velasco Guerrero confirmed the death and injuries at a Lima hospital. Alianza Lima and the Peruvian Professional Football League emphasized their commitment to safety investigations. The league confirmed authorities are probing the circumstances while the match against Universitario de Deportes went ahead as scheduled.
