At another game in Cairo :-

 

Another match in Cairo was halted by the referee after receiving news of the violence in Port Said, prompting fans

to set parts of the stadium on fire, television footage showed.

 

Violence at football matches across north Africa has increased significantly since political unrest sweeping across

the region began more than a year ago.
