Post-match riots at a soccer game in Egypt's Port Said have left 73 dead and at least 1000 injured.
Yesterday's violence began when local team Al-Masry beat the country's top club Al-Ahly three goals to one.
Witnesses said the riot began when Al-Ahly fans held up banners insulting Port Said, prompting Al-Masry fans to react by flooding the pitch and attacking players from the opposition.
Concussions, head injuries, suffocation from the stampede and fatal stab wounds were among the causes of death.
"This is not football, this is a war," said Al-Ahly player Mohamed Abo Treika. (Getty)
