Two fans were rushed to the hospital, including a 13-year-old girl, after a São Paulo fan plummeted from the upper deck during São Paulo’s 0-0 draw with Grêmio on Saturday at the Morumbi stadium.
Videos show Iago de Melo Rios, 23, falling from the Morumbi’s top ring onto fans near field-level below. He was reportedly conscious as he was taken to the Campo Limpo hospital.

No further information on the status of the fans is currently available.
This isn’t the first time a São Paulo fan has fallen from the stands at the Morumbi. In 2017, a fan died after falling from about 80 feet as he tried to change sections through a partition.
