A fight between fans of rival football teams Motagua and Olimpia at the National Stadium in Honduras' capital left 4 people dead and led to the suspension of the game.

The violence began when fans of the Olimpia team threw stones Saturday evening at a bus carrying Motagua players to the stadium, breaking windows and injuring 3 players.

Former Celtic player Emilio Izaguirre, a Honduran national, sustained a cut near an eye. Paraguayan Roberto Moreira and Argentine Jonathan Rougier were also injured.

The National League and police then suspended the game.

A fight broke out between fans of the teams, with fists flying and gunfire heard. Police used tear gas to disperse the crowd, which took their fight inside the stadium as well.

A Hospital spokeswoman said 3 spectators died Saturday and a fourth died on Sunday.

Four of the injured have been released from hospital, while three more are in stable condition.

A police spokesman said they arrested a suspect with guns who allegedly participated in the fight.

The stadium will be closed until further notice. The National League did not set a new date for the game to be played.
