Congo fans attack Super Eagles

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.
