The committee considered, according to its vice-chairman, spokesperson, Counselor Hamdan Al-Zyoudi, in a press statement, that the behavior contradicts the regulations that prevent the raising of banners and pictures, as happened before with the Togolese eye player Laba Kudjo, who was punished by the committee for lifting a shirt bearing the image of the deceased father.
On the other hand, the committee decided to postpone deciding the complaint submitted by Quattro against the Almog team due to the lack of an equipped ambulance and paramedics, as well as security personnel during the last two teams match in the 11th round of the Second Division, to its meeting next Monday. Al-Zayoudi said, "The delay in deciding the complaint came with the aim of investigating the facts about what happened with all the parties involved in the match, including the match refereeing team," knowing that the match ended with a 3-1 wave victory.
