Three-time Grammy award winning
musician, Wyclef Jeanelle Jean, has condemned the rowdy behaviour of Equatorial
Guinea fans during the country’s game against Ghana.
Fans of Equatorial Guinea caused a
nearly one hour hold up in the Semi-Final match between the two countries. They
started pelting missiles and water bottles onto the pitch barely 10 minutes to
the end of the decider.
The fans were bitter about the
defeat handed their team by a better Ghanaian side who had delved the
Equatorial Guinean team a 3:0 blow. With defeat staring the host nation in the
face, the fans decided to take matters into their own hands.
For several minutes, Equatorial
Guinean fans pelted strange objects and water bottles at the Ghanaian players,
fans and match officials.
Wyclef, who has been following the
tournament closely condemned the attitude of the home fans stressing African
football deserves better.
“The tournament have come
into a shameful halt by the home fans, #African Football deserve better
#AFCON2015 #EquatorialGuinea,” he tweeted.
Before the unfortunate incident, the
Haitian-born musician knew the match was a done deal for Ghana with eyes
already set on a finale between Ghana and Ivory Coast, who beat DR Congo to
book a place in the final.
“Big game coming up #GHAEQG, Les
Elephants awaits #BlackStars #AFCON2015 #Clefication. Game over #BlackStars
#azonto @FuseODG #AFCON2015 #Clefication,” he said.
Wyclef added that, “#AFCON2015 finals is set
