Soccer fans riot in Marseille
Nov. 15 - Riot police confront youths following the World Cup qualifying match between Algeria and Egypt in Cairo.
Rioters smashed shop windows, hurled stones at police and set fire to several boats moored in the southern French port of Marseille after Egypt beat Algeria in a soccer World Cup qualifying match on Saturday (November 14).
Egypt won the match, which was played in Cairo, 2-0.
Police said the trouble began after youths of Algerian origin reacted in frustration when Egypt scored towards the end of the first half of match, in which the two teams were vying to qualify for next year's World Cup.
Police said they had made eight arrests, mostly for throwing objects, while one man was arrested for setting fire to a rubbish bin.
