Fans at the packed 70,000-seat stadium saw Mali take the lead on Soumaila Coulibaly's goal in the 12th minute. But Salifou Mustapha tied it in the 83rd minute, and Kader Koubadia put Togo ahead 2-1 in the 90th. Police fired tear gas at dozens of angry fans who ran onto the field after the goal.
State television cut its live transmission just after police fired the gas canisters.
Thousands of fans, joined by residents who were not at the match, marched to the city center, setting up barricades of burning tires and throwing rocks and stones at traffic lights, billboards and vehicles. The window of Bamako's biggest bakery, the Patisserie Almandine, was smashed and the store was looted. One man was eating a cream cake as he carted a chair away on his head.
Cellular telephones, money and cameras were stolen from passers-by.
Presidential spokesman Seydou Sissouma said "I understand the people's disappointment, but nothing justifies such acts." He said he had heard of no injuries, and that all the soccer players had been "secured" under guard.
