A number of people without tickets to the event rushed through the first stadium security checkpoint before the start of the match. Wembley was briefly locked down after the incident and additional security was called in to remove the trespassers.

It appears the breach was more serious than anyone thought. Numbers that broke through at least in the hundreds. <a href=”https://t.co/qM1ngYzyI8″>pic.twitter.com/qM1ngYzyI8</a>

We witnessed this and I stepped away just in time. If this is even crossing your mind, don’t. You don’t get far. Please don’t ruin it for everyone at Wembley. <a href=”https://t.co/CoNx4U4CHb”>pic.twitter.com/CoNx4U4CHb</a>

New from Wembley Stadium spokesperson: “There was a breach of security and a small group of people got into the stadium. We are now working closely with stadium stewards and security to remove these people. Anyone inside the stadium without a ticket will be instantly ejected.”
Per James Olley of ESPN, “Unconfirmed reports suggested scuffles had broken out on the concourse and fans with legitimate tickets were arriving to find people already occupying their seats, triggering confrontations with stewards.”
