The football fan who invaded the pitch at the Cape Coast Stadium during Ghana\u2019s clash with South Africa is currently being detained police custody in Cape Coast.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The pitch invader, identified as Awal Suleman ran the length of the pitch towards the closing stages of Ghana\u2019s 2-0 win over South Africa in an AFCON 2021 qualifier on Thursday night.<\/p>\n

While fans inside the stadium and those watching on TV found the incident amusing, the pursuing security officials certainly did not, as one fire service personnel fell over during the chase.<\/p>\n

\nHowever, the 25-year old was eventually overpowered and taken to the University of Cape Coast police station where he is currently being detained.<\/p>\n

According to Citi Sports, DSP Awal Mohammed, Commander for the UCC District Police has revealed that Mr. Suleman was being processed for court and\u00a0is most likely going to be charged with disturbing public order.<\/p>\n
