On Tuesday Chilean fans were desperate to watch their country play its match against Spain in the World Cup. So desperate they took matters into their own hands by busting through security in invading the media center inside the stadium.

Eventually security was able to regain control of the situation and detain all of the culprits. It is being reported that all those involved in the invasion will be deported back to Chile.

It’s a shame that this will overshadow the amazing performance that Chile put on against Spain, defeating the defending Fifa World Cup Champions 2-0.
