Notes: The match was abandoned at 84' after the El Salvador team refused to
continue. By this point the match was already beyond control due to fights
between players. There had been a delay of 20 minutes during the first half
(at 43') after the referee awarded a penalty kick to Mexico. The precise
sequence of events is unclear due to conflicting reports, but during the
delay two El Salvadorean players were sent off and the entire team left the
field in protest. Play eventually resumed with the Mexican penalty kick;
however, the substitute goalkeeper Meléndez, in protest, turned his back
to the penalty taker Hugo Sánchez, a gesture which incensed the
spectators, some of whom threw coins. The remainder of the match saw
further aggression both on and off the field. Two more El Salvador players
and a Mexican player were sent off, while the crowd continued to throw
projectiles at the El Salvadorean players. This situation escalated until
the match was abandoned by the referee in the 84th minute. The fighting
continued in the dressing rooms and the El Salvadoreans had to take refuge
on their bus.
