"RIO DE JANEIRO \u2014 It was a scary moment outside Maracan\u00E3 Stadium about an hour ahead of the Spain-Chile match on Wednesday after a mob of around 100 fans wearing Chilean soccer jerseys overran World Cup security officials and broke through an entrance to storm the park.\n\nFIFA officials said the fans, who did not have tickets, forced their way into the stadium to see the sold-out match. Most of the World Cup fans ran into the media center \u2014 it was the closest door to the stadium entrance through which they broke \u2014 because they apparently thought it would lead them into the grandstands.\n\nThat led to a chaotic scene of broken glass and a destroyed temporary wall in the media center.\n\nSome aftermath in the media center entrance pic.twitter.com/5mXREeiW3p\n\u2014 Sam Laird (@samcmlaird) June 18, 2014\n\n\u00A0\n\nMedia center wall destroyed pic.twitter.com/gSSekeCh0G\n\u2014 Sam Laird (@samcmlaird) June 18, 2014\n\n\u00A0\nIt took at least 15 minutes for security officials to get everything under control. Stadium security guards tried to create a perimeter and eventually detained at least 85 people, FIFA officials said. Once the detainees were outside, riot police armed with stun guns forced them into a single-file line and into a holding area.\n\nAbout 30 #CHI fans being held. pic.twitter.com/G8zQRSvqG2\n\u2014 Sam Laird (@samcmlaird) June 18, 2014\n\n\u00A0\nMeanwhile, the detainees covered their faces in an effort to shield themselves from reporters who were taking photos and video.\n\nA #CHI fan covering his face. pic.twitter.com/AqwYTu6oHV\n\u2014 Sam Laird (@samcmlaird) June 18, 2014\n\n\u00A0\n\nFairly chaotic situation in the media center.
