“Those are not fans, they are rioters,” Brussels mayor Philippe Close said, according to Yahoo Sports Australia.

“Moroccan fans are there to celebrate. I condemn in the strongest terms the incidents of this afternoon.”

In Holland, football fans allegedly pelted police with fireworks and glass.

Eight people were detained in Antwerp, and two police officials were injured in Rotterdam.

Background

Morocco secured their third win ever at the World Cup on Nov. 27 with a late goal from Romain Saiss in the 73rd minute and then another from Zakaria Aboukhlal in extra time.

The Moroccans last won at the event in 1998.

Belgium could be knocked out in the group stage.

They must secure a win in their next match against Croatia on Thursday in their final Group F game in order to advance.
