During the nations cup Equatorial Guinea fans threw objects into the
Ghana end, causing the visiting support to
congregate behind one of the goals and force
the referee to bring a halt to the game
The Africa Cup of Nations semi-final
between Ghana and Equatorial Guinea has
been suspended in the 83rd minute following
violence between rival sets of fans.
The host nation were trailing 3-0 following
goals from Jordan Ayew, Wakaso Mubarak
and Andre Ayew when supporters of the host
nation began hurling bottles into the visiting
support.
As a result, Ghana fans ran down to the
bottom of the stand and congregated behind
one of the goals for their own safety, leading
the referee to suspend the game.
Equatorial Guinea fans then resorted to
throwing objects on to the pitch towards
match officials, before a helicopter flew over
the home support in a bid to halt the
violence.
That intervention led scores of supporters to
leave the stadium, with bottles strewn across
the pitch as the evening descended into
disarray.
