The Confederation Cup semi-final stage of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) was remembered for a serious scandal. The match between Morocco's "Olympique Safi" and Algeria's "USM Alger" was interrupted due to riots caused by fans.
Idman.Biz reports that tension arose between the fans of both clubs during the game, and as a result, a large number of fans broke through security barriers and entered the green field. Fans flooding the field en masse disrupted the course of the game.
In connection with the incidents, the refereeing team and CAF representatives decided to stop and postpone the match in order to ensure the safety of the players.
