Fans were so disappointed that they smashed shop windows, threw fireworks and torched vehicles after Morocco beat Belgium by 2-0 at the World Cup group match on Sunday, reports The Belgium Times.

At one stage riots broke out in Brussels' city centre late on Sunday afternoon and around a hundred police officers, armed with water cannons, had to intervene when fans vandalised street furniture and threw projectiles at the police.

Police used water cannons and tear gas to deal with the unrest.

Police said that they arrested 11 people for their connection with the riots.

Brussels Mayor, Philippe Close, also took to Twitter to condemn the incidents following the football match.
