Riot police deployed

Riot police, mounted officers and dogs were deployed amid chaotic scenes outside the Education City Stadium during Morocco’s win over Spain in the last 16 of the World Cup on Tuesday. Security forces could be seen dragging away at least three people while heated discussions took place between some Morocco fans and security forces over whether or not they could head through the perimeter gate and move towards the spectator entrances. Some people were showing their phones and what appeared to be their passports, but were turned away. At one stage, security forces inside the stadium perimeter - but outside the spectator entrances - marched forward to move people back. One security official said of the people outside: “They are not moving away, they want to enter.” It was unclear how many people outside the stadium had tickets and how many did not. A member of the security forces later removed someone for filming on their phone and asked a PA reporter to stop filming. (SkySports)
