Rodolfo Manuel Palomo Gamez, 21, who was on his way to support the Tigres, was hospitalized due to the serious injuries he suffered at the hands of a group of revelers who fled the area.

As fans from Los Rayados [The Stripped Ones] inched closer to the band of local supporters, mostly wearing yellow shirts, a police cruiser stationed idly between both angry groups abruptly decided it wanted no part of the fracas and sped away.
An unidentified driver then came into the scene, moving the car erratically sideways, trying to run over a scattering crowd, mostly male Tigres supporters.
The vehicle then turned left into the same street the cop cruiser had sped off into and narrowly missed making contact with a handful of bystanders as a few stumbled to the ground out of harm’s way.
