A FOOTBALL fan was killed in a weekend fight between rival groups in central Brazil, the fourth fatality resulting from fan violence in less than a month. Authorities on Sunday said 23-year-old Diego Rodrigo Costa de Jesus died after being shot in the back during a confrontation between supporters from Goias and Vila Nova in the central city of Goiania on Saturday. Two Palmeiras fans were killed last week in a fight at Sao Paulo, and a Guarani supporter died about two weeks ago about 100 kilometers away. A series of incidents related to fan fighting at the beginning of 2012 have raised concerns with Brazil hosting the 2014 World Cup.
