The Africa Cup of Nations clash between Gabon and Ghana descended into chaos on Friday night as a mass brawl ensued after full-time - which resulted in Black Stars player Benjamin Tetteh being shown a red card for a wild punch.

The two Group C rivals drew 1-1 in their second match of the tournament with Jim Allevinah's late equaliser rescuing a point for the Panthers, after Andre Ayew's sensational opener had given Ghana the lead.

Ghana's frustrations were clear to see at full-time, with those grievances boiling over into a fight between both sets of players. Amid the brawl, Black Stars substitute Tetteh was seen throwing his fists at Gabon's Aaron Boupendza.
