Congolese fans on Saturday threw caution into the winds
with an attack launched on the Super Eagles following their
two nil lose to the African Champions in the AFCON 2015
qualifying tie.
The entire Stade Municipal arena become tensed up after
Nigeria’s Aaron Samuel came on in the second half to
increase the tally and also took the game beyond the
Congolese reach.
The unruly action of the fans however forced the center
referee from Egypt, Grisha Ghead, to stop the proceedings
for about ten minutes before play resumed.
Security men fired tear gas canisters to disperse the
worrying fans and restore sanity in the stadium.
The Congolese action could attract sanctions from the
Confederation of African Football (CAF).
The Eagles also got an hostile reception on arrival in Congo
with open intimidation by angry local fans who chanted
‘Nigeria Ebola!’ as the team made their way for a final
training in Pointe Noire.
