World Cup Diary | World Cup diary: Press get a fright as Chile fans storm Maracana media centre
85 supporters are detained after trying to get in without tickets
There was chaos at the Maracana as Chile fans got past security ahead of the Spain game. Unfortunately for them, though, they ended up in the media centre rather than in the terraces.
The frightening horde wasn't going to cow the brave men and women of the press, and second-by-second updates of the scenes flooded in on Twitter.
It was the second security breach at the Maracana, and undoubtedly the worst location for it to have happened from Fifa's point of view.
“The fans forced the media door because they didn’t have tickets. They wanted to get inside the stadium but they were stopped,” security guard Diego Guillerme Souza told AFP.
Fifa condemned the fans and said at least 85 had been detained.
