Soccer fan dies after fall during Nations League final between Spain and Portugal

MUNICH (AP) — A soccer fan died during the Nations League final between Spain and Portugal on Sunday after falling from an overhead level onto a media area below.
A UEFA official, speaking on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to give details, confirmed a person sustained fatal injuries from a fall.
The incident occurred during the first period of extra time at the Munich stadium, when tension was high between rival players, and fans were becoming more animated. Medical personnel, stewards and police cordoned off the area.
'Before we begin with the questions, I would like to express my condolences because a fan died in the stands today,' de la Fuente said. 'My condolences to the family.'
