19 dead in soccer collide Sunday

At least 19 people died Sunday when soccer fans clashed with police outside a stadium in Cairo, the health ministry said.

Egypt's government-controlled Al-Ahram newspaper website reported that at least 30 people were killed.
The violence took place ahead of a scheduled match between Zamalek and ENPPI. The match went ahead.
Witnesses claim people had been crushed in a stampede when police used teargas to break up a crowd trying to enter the stadium from which they were barred.
