Eight people have died and another 38 were injured after a crush outside the Olembe Stadium in Yaounde, the capital city of Cameroon, at the host nation's Africa Cup of Nations tie against Comoros on Monday night.

The tragedy happened as supporters attempted to gain access to the ground's south entrance for the last-16 match.
