He was taken to the Campo Limpo municipal hospital where he later died of his injuries, officials said.

It is the second incident in less than a year in which fans have fallen from a stand at the Morumbi stadium.

Last May, more than a dozen people plunged three meters to the ground when a railing collapsed during a Copa Libertadores match.
