The match between the national teams of Mexico and Portugal was marked by a tragedy even before the kickoff. The Citizen Security Secretariat of Mexico City confirmed the death of a fan who was in a state of intoxication. In a brief statement, the SSC detailed that the man attempted to jump from the second to the first level of the box area of the newly inaugurated Estadio Azteca. The attempt to cross the barrier from the outside resulted in a fall to the ground floor of the venue. Despite receiving immediate medical assistance on site, the fan did not survive the severity of his injuries and ultimately passed away. The institution reported that "the incident has been communicated to the relevant authorities." It is worth noting that for this match, the authorities of the Mexican capital implemented special controls on the sale of alcohol in the vicinity of the stadium. Although a dry law was not declared, rules were established to prevent disorder and ensure the safety of spectators. Among the measures adopted was the prohibition of selling alcoholic beverages in open containers and consuming them in public areas near the stadium. The sale of alcohol to minors and compliance with the permitted hours by commercial establishments were also monitored. To ensure compliance with these rules, INVEA teams conducted constant patrols before, during, and after the match.
