The Zambian FA has confirmed that medical officer Dr Joseph Kabungo passed away on Tuesday night whilst on duty at the match between Nigeria and Ghana.
The Egyptian FA says it players were subjected to racist abuse from Senegal fans during their World Cup play-off on Tuesday night. The nation’s football governing body also claims Senegal supporters threw bottles and rocks at players during the warm-ups and attacked the team bus as it approached the stadium.
Nigerian security forces fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of angry fans who stormed the pitch and went on a rampage after Nigeria failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup late Tuesday. Outraged supporters flooded the field of the sold-out 60,000 capacity stadium in the capital, after Ghana upset the home team by forcing a 1-1 draw to win the African play-off on away goals and dash Nigeria's hopes of appearing in the World Cup later this year.
