Helicopters and riot police armed with tear gas were called to the Africa Cup of Nations semi-final match on Thursday evening amid scenes that the Ghana Football Association (FA) called a "war zone."
Trouble began at half-time in the football (soccer) game between Ghana and Equatorial Guinea in the latter's capital city of Malabo.
With Ghana 2-0 up, and some of Equatorial Guinea's supporters unhappy with a few of the referee's decisions, Ghana's players were pelted with plastic bottles as they left the pitch. They were protected by riot police holding up plastic shields.
