A Greek soccer fan was fatally stabbed during a brawl near Athens between rival fans, leading UEFA to postponed Tuesday's match between Greek host AEK Athens and Croatian club Dinamo Zagreb.

The fight broke out on Monday evening ahead of the UEFA Champions League third-round qualifying match between AEK and Dinamo at Agia Sophia Stadium on the outskirts of the Greek capital.

The 29-year-old man died in hospital, police said on Tuesday. His age had initially been put at 22.
