South African riot police in Durban have fired tear gas to disperse hundreds of security stewards protesting over alleged pay cuts.
The clash took place in a carpark 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.
