Ghana FA slam 'barbaric acts of vandalism'
Ghana's Football Association had strong words after the national team's AFCON semi-final against Equatorial Guinea descended into chaos.
Goals from Ayew brothers Jordan and Andre sandwiched a Mubarak Wakaso effort as Ghana sealed a straightforward 3-0 win, though the conditions were anything but.
Projectiles were aimed at Ghana officials and fans - who were forced onto the pitch in search of safety - resulting in the game being delayed for over half an hour.
The GFA did not hold back when relaying the events as they unfolded in Malaba from their official Twitter account.
