Supporters threatened to kill the 27-year-old after he was singled out to carry the majority of the blame.

"I don't know if I will play for Mali again. I have my family to think about.
"I don't think I did anything to deserve being singled out. I had missed a couple of chances but those were made by me. I didn't miss any easy opportunities to score," said Kanoute.

Ugly incident prompted Kanoute to consider quitting international football.
