The host nation’s governing body has also been ordered to meet the cost of treatment for the Ghana supporters who were injured by flying missiles during the game at the Estadio de Malabo which Ghana won 3-0.

CAF also announced a one match suspended ground closure on Equatorial Guinea which will only be enforced should there be further trouble during Saturday's third-place play-off match between Equatorial Guinea and DR Congo, which also takes place at the Malabo stadium.

Announcing the sanctions on its website, CAF said 36 Ghana supporters were hurt after coming under attack from home supporters, with 14 taken to hospital. It said one of those hospitalised was under close observation. ...SkySports
