A previous statement from the stadium management said that fans tried to enter the stadium by climbing a low-rise barrier, but the officials and the police were able to prevent them.
He also added that “safety measures were quickly implemented in this area, and people without tickets were unable to make any security breach and enter the stadium.”
Wembley’s capacity is normally 90,000 seats, but its number has been reduced due to the pandemic to only about 67,000 seats.
And the match moved to two extra periods after scoring two equal goals between the two teams in the original time of the match.
