Two men were killed in separate football-related incidents in Argentina, following a Transition Tournament match, local media reported Monday.

Both killings occurred after Sunday's game between Rosario Central and Newell's, in the town of Rosario, 300 km north of the capital Buenos Aires.

The incidents involved the shooting death of a 39-year-old man and the stabbing death of a 22-year-old. Another eight fans were admitted to different hospitals with serious injuries, the daily La Nacion said on its website.

Martin Acosta and his son were celebrating the hometown team's win in the city's Belgrano district around 6:30 p.m. local time ( 2130 GMT), when a neighbor reportedly angered by the ruckus fired a weapon several times, hitting Acosta in the back.

The victim was taken to a hospital, where he died around 9 p.m. The neighbor has been identified by the police, but remains at large.

The second victim, Lautaro Bova, according to eyewitness accounts, was walking with other fellow fans in the Castellanos y Centeno part of the city around 7 p.m. local time (2200 GMT), when a group of men reportedly sporting Newell's colors attacked, stabbing Bova in the chest. He died minutes after being admitted to hospital.

Police officers arrested the 35-year-old assailant, said La Nacion.

Rosario has been plagued by rising crime in recent years, much of it blamed on clashes between rival drug trafficking rings.
