Picture: Police use teargas in on-going Nations Cup to disperse fans
Headlines, Soccer, Sports Sunday, January 22nd, 2012 
Police used tear gas to try and slow a crush of fans forcing their way into the Bata Stadium complex for Saturday’s opening match of the African Cup of Nations.
Police tried to check fans’ tickets one-by-one at the main gate to the complex ahead of Equatorial Guinea’s match against Libya. But several times the crowd proved too much and Israeli security advisers ordered the gates opened to allow scores of people through without being checked.
On at least one occasion, tear gas was used on the crowd.
