Riots broke out in Brussels' city centre late on Sunday afternoon following Morocco's win against Belgium in the FIFA World Cup group stage.

Around a hundred police officers, armed with water cannons, had to intervene when fans vandalised street furniture and threw projectiles in the direction of the police.

Unrest after Morocco World Cup win: Riot police sent to Amsterdam, Rotterdam & The Hague

It grew restless in Amsterdam on Sunday evening after Morocco's shock victory, with many disturbances reported, according to the police. Fires broke out, and people were setting off fireworks.

In Rotterdam, the riot police were busy charging the crowd in an attempt to get them to disperse. Football supporters there were throwing fireworks and glass at the police.

The riot police also intervened in The Hague after the match. "The atmosphere has become a bit grim," said a spokesperson there. Heavy fireworks were set off, and supporters opened the car doors of innocent people trying to navigate through the area.

In the Lombok district of Utrecht, the atmosphere was festive; there were only a few small street fires here and there. In Amersfoort, a scooter was set on fire and there were fireworks set off, but few problems otherwise.
