Copenhagen supporter dies in fall
COPENHAGEN, Denmark -- A 24-year-old Danish football fan has died after falling from the top tier of the stands at FC Copenhagen's Parken Stadium during a weekend match against Viborg.
The man, reportedly from Frederiksberg in Copenhagen, received immediate medical attention but died of his injuries on Sunday.
Copenhagen chairman Flemming Ostergaard said the man had apparently been enraged when the referee sent off the home team's Bo Svensson during the second half.
"According to our information, he became angry at the decision and ran down toward the railing and fell over," Ostergaard said.
The referee halted Sunday's Superleague match soon after the incident. The Danish football association have said the score of 0-0 at the time of the incident will stand as the result.
