A number of journalists have tweeted about the incident this evening.
Chile fans broke down a barricade and reportedly stormed the media centre at the Maracana in Rio on Wednesday evening.
Journalist Jonathan Wilson described the scenes at the ground.
There’s people running all over the press room at the Maracana. My guess is Maradona’s turned up. — Jonathan Wilson (@jonawils) June 18, 2014
Oh. It’s just some Chilean fans have breached security and are dancing around in the corner. As you were. — Jonathan Wilson (@jonawils) June 18, 2014
OK. That’s a bit more serious. A wall has just collapsed. — Jonathan Wilson (@jonawils) June 18, 2014
By wall, I mean a partition rather than a brick wall, but still all a bit mental. — Jonathan Wilson (@jonawils) June 18, 2014
