Defender Gabriel Zakuani wants DR Congo to pull
out of their Africa Cup of Nations third-place
play-off against Equatorial Guinea amid security
fears.
.
His side face the hosts on Saturday at the same
venue where rioting marred the home side’s semi-
final against Ghana.
.
“If they’re throwing this [rocks and glass] at players,
Eq Guinea, you can have 3rd place, I love football but
prefer to live,” Zakuani, 28, tweeted.
.
Equatorial Guinea’s football federation has been
fined £65,000 for the trouble.
.
It has also been told by the Confederation of African
Football (Caf) to meet the cost of treatment of the 36
injured supporters.
.
Caf ordered Equatorial Guinea to play one match
behind closed doors, but suspended the sanction “in
the spirit of fair play”.
