Home fans started the riot when the match was 15 minutes from the end and visiting Cote d'Ivoire were 2-0 ahead, which meant Senegal would be eliminated following their first-leg 4-2 loss unless miracle happened in the last moments.

Tin cans and water bombs rained down and players were forced to gather in the center circle.

After 40 minutes of suspension, organizers decided to call off the match.
