A soccer match in Southern Guinea turned deadly this weekend ... with 56 people losing their lives and droves of others injured following a stampede -- with all the carnage stemming from a controversial call.
The incident occurred at a tournament hosting the country's military leader -- Mamady Doumbouya -- in the city of Nzerekorke on Sunday.
A fan in attendance told Reuters things went south following a red card in the 82nd minute of the contest, which led some to throw stones, which police responded to with tear gas, in an attempt to get the situation under control.
