South African riot police in Durban have crashed with hundreds of security stewards protesting over alleged pay cuts in a car park at the city's Moses Mabhida stadium shortly after it hosted a match between Australia and Germany. The stewards said they were being paid only 190 rand (£17; $25) a day, although they had been promised more.
Reports say one woman was injured and at least two people were arrested.

It was not immediately clear how much the stewards were supposed to have been paid according to their contracts.

So far there, have been no public comments on the incident from South Africa's World Cup organising committee or Fifa.
