A RIOT broke out on the streets of Brussels today during the World Cup clash between Belgium and Morocco.
Cops blasted water cannons and fired tear gas as rampaging football fans chucked fireworks, flipped cars and set fire to scooters.
Around 100 riot cops were scrambled to the scene as fans set fire to e-scooters and smashed up vehicles during the game – which ended with a 0-2 defeat for Belgium.
Shocking images showed fires burning in the middle of the road and Moroccan supporters waving flags as they paraded down the streets.
Tensions were already mounting before the start of the match as fireworks were thrown near Brussels-South railway station.
Brussels mayor Philippe Close condemned the riots and warned people not to come to the city centre.
