Jordan Ayew shows a good turn of pace to break into the area but a smart tackle puts his cross behind for a corner, which comes to nothing.

Allsport.com.gh reporter Godfred Akoto Boafo, external with a picture taken at half-time: This is how Ghana is getting off the pitch. Embarrasing and sad scenes from what has been a great AFCON

A couple of players and officials quickly throw the objects off the pitch and play resumes. Hopefully the rest of the half can continue uninterrupted.

The assistant referee comes on to the pitch as play is briefly stopped, it seems water bottles are still being thrown on to the pitch.

And we are indeed back under way...

Now the Ghana players emerge, Brimah Razak kisses his lucky spiderman figure and puts it by his goal. It looks like we are about to get back under way.

The Ghanaian substitutes are out, but not the team. Equatorial Guinea's Javier Balboa appears to be appealing to fans to settle down.

"Just seen a couple of water bottles thrown down. This is a very serious incident. There are about 10 police either side of the tunnel holding riot shields - almost creating a temporary roof for the players."

Equatorial Guinea players are back on the pitch, but we are still waiting to see the Ghana players who will perhaps be a bit apprehensive after being pelted by water bottles at half-time.

Disappointing scenes at the end of what was an intriguing first-half of football, Felipe Ovono's daring, possibly foolish, runs off his line ultimately proved costly as he gave away a penalty and from then Equatorial Guinea just fell apart.

Ghana shaded possession and had more shots, so just about had the better of the half, but the hosts were very much in it until those mad final few minutes.

What does the second half have in store for us?

"There are more bottles being pelted off the pitch, the referee is being pelted. Water bottles are flying all over the place. The home fans have reached fever pitch - nobody wants to see this. They are being escorted off with the help of riot shields."

What a devastating couple of minutes at the end of that half. The Ghana players are still out on the pitch as they are unable to make their way down the tunnel, with bottles being thrown on to the pitch from the stands. Eventually they have to hide under riot shields as they are escorted off the pitch. Mad scenes.

"Wakaso Mubarak's first reaction after he scored was to run to coach Avram Grant. He took the pass, controlled it and finished in the keeper's bottom left."

Equatorial Guinea's pursuit of an equaliser leaves them exposed at the back and Ghana take full advantage, breaking on a quick counter which ends with Christian Atsu squaring for the unmarked Wakaso Mubarak, who swipes home from the middle of the area. Game over already?

Ghana's Harrison Afful picks up an unnecessary yellow as he takes the legs of Javier Balboa just as two minutes of stoppage time is announced. Equatorial Guinea are on the hunt for a quick equaliser...

"There were bottles being thrown on to the pitch and the dugout after the referee prevented the Equatorial Guinea players for taking a quick restart."

Equatorial Guinea want to get the game back under way quickly but are a little too quick as they kick-off while Ghana players are still celebrating. The referee blows his whistle, telling the hosts to wait until his say so. We are, eventually, back under way.

"The Ghanaians are signing and dancing, but the rest of the stadium is almost silent."
