Ghana gets Caf fine for Awal pitch-invasion during South Africa Afcon qualifier

The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has slapped Ghana with a fine after a pitch invader interrupted a 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (Afcon) qualifying home fixture against South Africa last November.

In what ended in a 2-0 win for the Black Stars at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium, the intruder launched a run onto the pitch in the 84th minute, briefly bringing the game to a standstill.

It took a hot chase by over 10 security officers to eventually get hold of the invader.
