AFCON 2015 third-place play-off will go ahead despite Ghana and Equatorial Guinea crowd violence
Equatorial Guinea's third-place game at the Africa Cup of Nations will go ahead on Saturday despite the crowd violence that marred the home team's loss to Ghana in the semi-finals.
Equatorial Guinea will play fellow losing semi-finalists Congo at the same stadium in Malabo where home fans attacked Ghanaian supporters and threw missiles at players and officials on Thursday.
But Confederation of African Football spokesman Junior Binyam says the third-place game won't be called off.
Binyam said CAF met earlier Friday to discuss the violence at Malabo Stadium, and will release a statement after lunch local time.
Equatorial Guinea were already warned by CAF to control their fans following disturbances in their previous game, a contentious 2-1 win over Tunisia in the quarter-finals in Bata.
Ghana went on to win the semi-final 3-0 to set up a final showdown with the Ivory Coast on February 8.
