Overview
- A pre‑derby flag‑waving rally at Alianza Lima’s Alejandro Villanueva Stadium on Friday night left one fan dead and between 47 and 60 people injured in a crowd crush.
- Health Minister Juan Carlos Velasco said three people are in critical condition, and Alianza Lima identified the deceased as Freddy Rony Cornetero Cueva.
- The Health Ministry sent eight SAMU emergency units for on‑site care, put Lima hospitals on alert, and reported transfers that included National Hospital Arzobispo Loayza.
- The cause remains under investigation after the ministry’s early claim of a structural collapse was disputed by police, the fire brigade, and the club, and city officials said the rally lacked required permits and security guarantees.
- The Peruvian league said the Alianza–Universitario match will go ahead at Universitario’s Estadio Monumental “U” in Lima as authorities continue their inquiry.
