The African region outside the World Cup had a lot to talk about on Wednesday. African powerhouse Nigeria drew 1-1 with Ghana at home, but because Ghana had the advantage of an away goal to qualify for the World Cup, and Nigeria was eliminated from the World Cup for the first time since 2006, a large number of fans became agitated and rushed down to the stadium, causing a riot.
Nigeria lost in the first 10 minutes of the match, and Ghana opened the scoring with a Tomas Berdy goal. Although the hosts got a 12-yarder in the 22nd minute to tie the match at 1-1, they couldn't score any more goals. As the visitors' goal was not as good as their opponents, Nigeria attacked frantically, with 20 shots on goal in the whole match, but could not break into Ghana's door, while Ghana, who had 6 shots on goal and only 1 shot on goal in the whole match, successfully gained the ticket to the World Cup.
The home fans were furious at Nigeria's exit and threw water bottles. A large number of fans rushed into the stadium after the game and vandalized the facilities inside the stadium, including the seats in the players' box; the police had to deploy ********* to drive away the crowd, resulting in a chaotic scene.
