Host of on-going African Cup of Nations Equatorial Guinea have been fined following the crowd troubles that marred the country's semi-final defeat to Ghana on Thursday evening in Malabo.
After 82' into the match, the home crowd forced the visiting fans off the stands which saw the match halted.
According to the African football body in a statement on it's website on Friday afternoon, The hosts will cover the treatment costs of all of those injured at the fixture, while the country's football federation has been fined $100,000 for "aggressive behaviour" and being repeat offenders.
Equatorial Guinea have also been ordered to play a match behind closed doors, although this is suspended for the third-place play-off and will only come into effect in the event of a repeat occurrence on Saturday.
