Numerous pitch invasions forced Monday’s friendly between Ivory Coast and Senegal in Paris to be abandoned before fulltime.
The sides were level at 1-1 when French referee Tony Chapron called off the match in the 88th minute as fans from both sides flooded onto the pitch.
Liverpool forward Sadio Mane had given Senegal the lead on 67 minutes from the penalty spot but Fulham’s Cyriac Gohi Bi equalised for the Ivorians just four minutes later.
But after the latest in a number of pitch invasions, Chapron had had enough and the game was brought to a premature end.
The game came just three days after Ivory Coast won 2-0 in Russia.
In the Charlety stadium in the south of Paris, the Elephants were watched by former Belgium coach Marc Wilmots, who will assume his coaching duties with Ivory Coast on April 1.
African World Cup qualifying resumes in August with Ivory Coast two points clear of Morocco and Gabon at the top of Group C with four points after two games and Senegal a point behind Burkina Faso and South Africa in Group D.
