A row over a World Cup match involving Ghana has left two fans dead in the Kenya capital, Nairobi.
The two young men brawled moments after African team Ghana lost its quarter final match against Uruguay in penalties.
One of the men was stabbed by his colleague before a crowd intervened and stoned the culprit to death in the densely populated Githurai Kimbo Estate.
Trouble started when a group of youths differed on predictions of results after Ghana's opener.
Ghana's chance to make history as the first African country to reach a World Cup semi final, ended Friday night after they bowed out of the tournament in post match penalties.
Last year, a Kenyan fan of Premier League side Arsenal committed suicide after the team was eliminated by rivals Manchester United in the Champions League.
