Security increased for Afcon final

Extra security will be provided for Sunday's Africa Cup of Nations final between Ivory Coast and Ghana after the crowd's violence interrupted Thursday's second semi-final.

The match, which saw Ghana beat hosts Equatorial Guinea 3-0, was stopped for 30 minutes as home supporters threw missiles onto the pitch.

"We have re-coordinated with the security people to make sure key points that were maybe a bit loose in previous matches are better secured," said Caf general secretary Hicham El Amrani.

"We have a higher number of security people but the most important thing is the head of state addressed the nation to call them to come peacefully and celebrate what their country has done by organising this tournament."
