Riots in Brussels after Belgium-Morocco football match

Riots broke out in Brussels' city centre late on Sunday afternoon following Morocco's win against Belgium in the FIFA World Cup group stage.

Around a hundred police officers, armed with water cannons, had to intervene when fans vandalised street furniture and threw projectiles in the direction of the police, The Brussels Times reports.
