H-O-R-R-O-R: 74 Dead And More Than 1,000 Injured During Violent Egyptian Football Match(Photos)

Players panicking and running for their dear lives as rioters chase after them.

At least 74 football fans have been killed and 1,000 others left injured after riots broke out at a match in Egypt.

Seconds after the referee blew his whistle, supporters swarmed onto the pitch throwing stones, fireworks and bottles at rival fans, players and security officers in the city of Port Said, officials said.

It was the worst incident of soccer violence in Egypt and the deadliest worldwide since 1996.

The Egyptian army was being airlifted in by helicopter to rescue stranded players who became trapped in the changing rooms.

The game was between Al Ahli, one of Egypt's most successful clubs, and Al-Masry, a team based in Port Said.
Live television footage showed Masry fans running onto the field after the referee blew the whistle and chasing Ahli players, even though their team secured a shock 3-1 win.
Most of the victims are believed to have died from suffocation or head injuries, with some cornered in the stadium as parts of it were set on fire.
