Douala, Cameroon (CNN) The president of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has said a report into a stadium crush in the Cameroonian capital of Yaoundé will center on who closed the gate at the Olembe Stadium. At least eight people were killed and 38 injured in Monday's incident during the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) game between Cameroon and Comoros. The crush occurred at the south entrance of the stadium as fans attempted to watch the round of 16 match, which ended in a 2-1 victory to Cameroon. "If [the gate] was open, [spectators] would have walked through and it was closed for inexplicable reasons," CAF president Patrice Motsepe said during a press conference on Tuesday. "If that gate was open as it was supposed to we wouldn't have had this loss of life."
