Tense Atmosphere Reported Before Kickoff
Hours before the match, the atmosphere in parts of Conakry was already unstable:
According to Afriquezoom.com, areas like the Nongo Tady intersection had been overtaken by zealous supporters playing music and blocking traffic.
At one point, when the national anthem was played, roads were completely blocked, and motorists were forcibly made to stop, showing the volatile mix of passion and disorder.
A local journalist warned earlier in the day:
“When the Syli plays, it’s a problem because, whether they win or not, the fans get carried away by their passion.”
