Etoile Sahel were kicked out of the
2012 CAF Champions League on Monday after two pitch invasions during a home
fixture against fellow Tunisians Esperance this month.
A statement from the Cairo-based
African football governing body said stones, missiles, bottles and firecrackers
were thrown during the invasions, forcing the referee to abandon the game on 69
minutes with Esperance 2-0 ahead.
Esperance and Sunshine Stars of
Nigeria have six points each in a revised Group A table after the four Etoile
results were dropped and both qualify for the semifinals with ASO Chlef of
Algeria pointless and out of the running.
The disqualification of Etoile will
be welcomed by African football observers, who have accused CAF of being soft
in the past on clubs with records of crowd trouble.
