A fan of Palmeiras was shot dead outside the club's stadium Saturday amid street violence after the team's 2-1 loss to Chelsea in the Club World Cup final in Abu Dhabi.
Sao Paulo police Investigator Cesar Saad told journalists that a suspect had been arrested in the shooting, adding that 15 other fans were injured in clashes with police or in fights among themselves.
Notably, fans of the Brazilian team often watch the team's away matches in the surroundings of the club's stadium.
Chelsea beat Palmeiras with a penalty goal in extra time to win the Club World Cup title for the first time.
Kai Havertz, who scored Chelsea’s winning goal in last season’s Champions League final, scored the penalty goal with three minutes left.
