The manager of the ball in the Egyptian Al-Ahly Club, Sayed Abdel Hafeez, expressed his anger at the events that took place in the Sudanese Al-Hilal match after the match was interrupted due to the crowd's riots, and called for obtaining the points of the match, which ended in a 1-1 draw.
Al-Ahly qualified for the quarter-finals of the African Champions League after finishing second in the group, after a positive tie with Al-Hilal Sudanese with a goal for each team, in the match that was held yesterday at the Al-Jawhara Al-Zarqa Stadium in Sudan, in the sixth and final round of the group stage.
"The African Union regulation must be applied so that it does not happen again in the future ... The list provides for the cancellation of the meeting in the event of a riot, forcing the referee to stop the match and calculate the result for the away team, and we are waiting The decision of the African Union, and there will be action by the club's management. "
He added, "We were running in fear, and thank God for the performance and the high spirit. The atmosphere of the match was difficult. We were playing in a military barracks, not a sporting atmosphere."
The match was halted in the second half twice for more than ten minutes, due to the fans throwing some projectiles at the stadium, as fans stormed the field, prompting the Sudanese security forces to intervene to control the situation before the match resumed.
