Journalists evacuated from the stands, projectiles thrown at the referee and the Ghanaian players throughout the match, fans invading the pitch: the semi-finals of the African Cup of Nations between Ghana and Equatorial Guinea totally escalated on Thursday night. To avoid chaos, Ghanaian fans had yet taken the lead in leaving the stands before the final whistle. Not a chance.
"It's disgusting exclaims a Ghanaian journalist, a football game, or you win or you do draw, or you lose. So if you lose a game, you have to throw bottles and stones? This really is not reasonable, I think that the government or the organization of the CAN have to deal with and consider punishing troublemakers, because it is not football. "
The match then had to be interrupted ten minutes from the end, a helicopter came in police reinforcements to evacuate part of the stadium. It took more than thirty minutes to restore an uneasy calm. The match resumed for only two minutes, sealing the qualification of Ghana in the final. A chaos that tarnish the CAN -2015.
"It's really not good deplores a supporter of Ghana because Equatorial Guinea and Ghana are friends. Football is a game. When you play, this should be that of happiness, we lose, we win or make a draw. "
Incidents that have caused turmoil among players of both teams. Equatorial Guinea, the host country, will still have another part to play in its capital, on Saturday against the Democratic Republic of Congo. Ghana will challenge him the final Sunday in Ivory Coast.
