VIDEO: Clashes between police and Ahly fans | 25 Injured

Twenty-five police personnel were injured in clashes with Ahly fans following Thursday�s African Super Cup game at Cairo Stadium, Egypt�s interior ministry said.

Fan trouble erupted following the final whistle, shortly after Ahly won a second successive Super Cup trophy by beating Tunisia�s Sfaxien 3-2 in a thrilling match.

�After the end of the match, section of the fans chanted anti-police slogans before hurling water bottles, seats and fireworks at the forces who were securing the game,� the interior ministry said in a statement.

�On their way out, the fans have also torched a police vehicle and two civilian cars � 10 officers and 15 conscripts were injured as a result. The security forces managed to contain the situation and arrested a number of rioters.�

The interior ministry said it may put on hold any plans to allow the fans back to the stands following Thursday�s troubles.
