Thursday’s Africa Cup of Nations semifinal was brought to a halt minutes from time after Ghana supporters were forced out of their seats after being targeted with missiles by Equatorial Guinea supporters.
With full-time fast approaching and Ghana leading 3-0, play was suspended following the sight of Black Stars fans making their way onto the side of the pitch, seeking refuge from what was being thrown at them.
Players were forced to stand in the middle of the pitch as they awaited a decision, while a police helicopter hovered above the Estadio de Malabo pitch in Equatorial Guinea.
