Santos fan dies after post-match beating

A fan of Brazilian side Santos died on Monday after he was beaten leaving a league match in Sao Paulo, which will host the opening match of the World Cup, his club said.

The 34-year-old father of a five-month-old child was attacked by about 15 fans, who beat him with metal bars at a bus stop following a match between Pele's former side Santos and Sao Paulo.

Media reported another Santo supporter, aged 15, was in a serious condition after being attacked at a metro station.
