Additional measures were taken ahead of Morocco’s victory over Spain
It comes after angry scenes between police and spectators outside the gates ahead of Morocco’s penalty shoot-out victory over Spain.
Qatar’s Supreme Committee is expected to issue a statement on the unrest.
Videos emerged on social media ahead of Morocco’s victory over Spain showing police at Al Rayyan’s Education City stadium pushing supporters during clashes.
Fans were forced to fight against chain link fences while other clips showed fights breaking out.
In one video, a woman in a Spanish shirt can be heard telling security forces: “Look at these people, it’s dangerous.
“There’s a baby, she’s going to get trampled and it’s too crowded.”
