The fan, identified by Belgrano as Emanuel Balbo, was beaten
by fellow supporters in the crowd of 57,000 and forced down the
terraces where he tried to avoid more violence by vaulting a
barrier, his father told Cordoba's Cadena 3 radio station.
Video footage showed Balbo falling over one tier of the stand
and then lying prostrate on a concrete staircase below.
Local media reported he was in a serious condition.
Another fan named Diego Frydman was also hurt, home club
Belgrano said.
"Here at Belgrano we are praying that Emanuel Balbo and Diego
Frydman recover," the club said in a statement.
Saturday's violence is the latest in a long string of incidents
at Argentine grounds.
In recent years away fans have been banned from some matches and
games postponed but the measures have failed to curb the
violence.
The game finished 1-1 to leave Belgrano second bottom of the
30-team Primera Division.
