The Brazilians' secured a 2-0 win over the Algerians on Saturday night, thanks to goals from Tiyani Mabunda and Khama Billiat.

However, it was the behaviour of the home supporters that overshadowed the encounter on Saturday night.

The Setif supporters vented their frustration by breaking through some of the security fences and launched missiles onto the pitch, bringing a temporary hault to the clash. 

According to CAF rules regarding interrupted matches, the Algerian outfit could be eliminated from the competition.

"If the referee is forced to stop the match before the end of the regular time because of invasion of the field or aggression against the visiting team, the host team shall be considered loser and shall be eliminated from the competition, without prejudice to the sanctions existing in the regulations," the rule states.
