Hosts Equatorial Guinea faced off against Ghana for a place in the final of the African Cup of Nations. The game has descended into farce with eight minutes left after Equatorial Guinea fans started throwing missiles at the Ghanian fans.
Things weren't going well at half time either, as the Ghanians had to be given a police escort off the pitch as they lead 2-0. They added another goal before things got out of hand.
AFCON Crowd Trouble
A helicopter has been called to try and separate the fans.
Ghana will play in the final of the AFCON against Ivory Coast.
UPDATE: The game will continue
This is disgraceful: Ghana's players stuck on pitch as a hail of bottles prevents them going down tunnel.
