Last Sunday, at least 125 football match attendees were killed following a mass stampede. 

This was caused by supporters of the losing team swarming the pitch at the end of the match. Police fired tear gas into the crowd and in an attempt to get away, hundreds of people were stampeding towards the exit gate.

The end result of this concluded with people being crushed or suffocated.
