You might have missed the match or you missed out on it. But here are exclusive pictures from chaotic scenes after the cut at the match caused by fans' unrest.
The African Nations Cup semifinal match between host, Equitorial Guinea and Ghana ended in chaos as the match had to be halted eight minutes from time.
The Black Cats’ fans were forced to leave the stands, during a 30 minute suspension, and take refuge behind one of the goals after
seemingly being pelted with objects from rival supporters with Ghana leading 3-0.
Bottles could be seen scattered across the running track which
surrounded the pitch.
The referee stopped the match and the players were left waiting in the middle of the pitch to find out if play would resume, with the
Equatorial Guinea players pleading with their fans to calm down.
A helicopter was forced to intervene in an attempt to disperse the
Guinea supporters.
Ghana had been set to seal a place in the final against Ivory Coast after a penalty from Jordan Ayew and a Wakaso Mubarak strike at the end of the first half and a tap-in from Andre Ayew in the second.
Plenty of fans left the stadium as the suspension dragged on without
abandonment.
