3月27日晚，世界杯预选赛非洲区马里对多哥的比赛在最后一分钟被迫中断，起因是客场作战的多哥队在最后时刻将比分反超为2：1，导致主场马里队出线无望。气愤至极的数千名马里球迷疯狂地冲进球场，造成足球赛事史上的严重骚乱事件。外电报道如下：Angry fans invaded the field and forced the suspension of an African World Cup qualifying match between Togo and host Mali, then went on a riot and looting spree in Bamako.

Togo led 2-1 when the game was stopped in second-half injury time.

The home fans at the packed 70,000-seat March 26 Stadium became upset when Kader Koubadia scored what appeared to be a goal in injury time.

Police fired tear gas at dozens of angry fans who ran onto the field after the goal, and state television immediately cut its live transmission. Dozens of people passed out after inhaling¹ the gas.

Pass out意为“昏倒，失去知觉，醉得不省人事”，此外还有“毕业，结业，分送（礼品），不复，不再”等多种含义。

据悉，在球场外，无数人涌进球场附近的各条街道，焚烧汽车，对几十家饭店、酒吧打、砸、抢、烧，打伤多人，失去理智的球迷还扬言要杀死几个赛场上表现糟糕的本国球员，公开点名要取卡努特和巴卡约科的首级。国际足联已决定对此严重骚乱事件进行深入调查。
