Senegal disqualified after riots

Senegal have been disqualified from the African Nations Cup after the riot that caused their play-off against the Ivory Coast to be abandoned.

Missiles, stones, bottles and firecrackers were thrown onto the pitch and tear gas was used during the match in Dakar.

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) announced on Tuesday that the Ivory Coast have been awarded the match 2-0 and will qualify for the finals next year courtesy of a 6-2 aggregate win.
