"the police who were struggling to control the numbers "

There is the start of the problem, their attempts at control were simply to herd people into one small area outside the ground, where they couldn't get access to the stadium quickly enough.
As a result the crush started there, there were people in there that were not trying to get into the ground but were not allowed by the police to go anywhere else.
