Fans battled outside the ground immediately
following Ecuadorean side Barcelona's 1-0 win, forcing police to
lock the gates to stop more fans getting involved, according to
local media.
Video footage on Globo's sports channel showed fans outside the
ground running from the fighting as police fired percussion
grenades to disperse the crowds.
Globo also said fans inside the ground tried to get into the
Santos dressing room to remonstrate with the side after the
surprise quarter-final defeat to a Barcelona team that had two
players sent off.
Barcelona won the two-legged tie 2-1 after a 1-1 draw in
Guayaquil last week and face another Brazilian side Gremio in
the semi-finals next month.
