Mexico’s top professional soccer league suspended games scheduled for Sunday after a brawl among fans left more than 20 people injured during Saturday’s match between host Queretaro and Atlas from Guadalajara.

“It’s a situation of serious violence that worries us and requires us to act energetically against those responsible,” Mikel Arriola, the league president, said in a video posted on the league’s website.
