Football: Dramatic FAR winner triggers trouble in Morocco

RABAT, July 22, 2007 (AFP) - Play was delayed for 10 minutes after FAR Rabat of Morocco snatched a stoppage-time winner against Al-Ittihad of Libya in the African Champons League this weekend.

Striker Jaouad Ouaddouch headed the lone goal of a drab Group A match after 93 minutes and sparked a mini-riot with police intervening to protect the Nigerian match officials.

While Ouaddouch appeared offside as he deflected a drive wide of goalkeeper Samir Aboud into the corner of the net, television replays confirmed the goal was legitimate.
