Africa Cup of Nations hosts Equatorial Guinea
have been fined $ 100,000 and escaped having a
third-placed match against DR Congo today(7/2/2015)
played behind closed doors after crowd trouble in
a semi-final against Ghana.

Several Ghana fans were injured after rival
supporters attacked them with the Black Stars
leading 3-0 and with less than 10 minutes to the
end of Thursday’s Africa Cup semi-final.
The game was only restarted after a 35-minute
delay as anti-riot police were forced to evacuate
fans from the 15,000-capacity Estadio de Malabo.
Besides the fine, the CAF disciplinary committee
on Friday announced it will allow for a third-
placed match between Equatorial Guinea and DRC
to be played with fans “to promote a spirit of fair
play and brotherhood in the AFCON 2015”.
However, if there is another crowd trouble,
Equatorial Guinea will play their next home game
behind closed doors.
The host nation will also pay for the treatment of
the injured Ghana fans.
