A football fan has died after falling from the second tier of a stand during the Nations League final between Portugal and Spain

Portugal lifted their second Nations League trophy Sunday night after beating neighbours Spain on penalties in a thrilling final at Munich’s Allianz Arena.

The match was however marred by the tragic passing of the fan who fell from the second tier of the main stand into the seating area below.

Paramedics and stadium stewards were seen rushing to the supporter’s aid following the fall, which occurred during extra time.

The game continued while the person was treated, but UEFA confirmed they could not be revived.

“There was a medical emergency at the Munich arena, and despite the best efforts of the medical team, the person sadly passed away at 00:06 (CET),” a statement read.

“Our thoughts are with their loved ones at this difficult time.”

Details about the victim have yet to be released at the time of filing this report.

Spain manager Luis de la Fuente began his post-match press conference by offering sympathies to the supporter’s loved ones.

“I want to express my condolences to the family of a fan who has died,” De la Fuente said. “That has made us realise what is important in life.”

In the same vein, the Player of the Match, Nuno Mendes, added, “I would like to express my condolences to the fan’s family that died. It casts a pall on our victory today.”
