An unnamed youth has been stabbed to death and another wounded in Bogota during clashes between fans of local clubs on Sunday morning, Caracol Radio reported.

The young Millionarios fan was admitted to hospital at 6AM Sunday after having received several stab wounds to the chest. He later died of his injuries, while another youth is in a critical but stable condition and remains in recovery.
