Egypt Football Association files a complaint after Senegal fans pointed lasers at Egyptian players during the penalty shootouts on Tuesday.
Senegal won the shoot outs by 3-1 following a 1-1 aggregate result after extra time.
Already targeted by multiple lasers during the meeting, the Egyptians were somehow distracted during this penalty shootout.
Indeed, the image of a Mohamed Salah riddled with lasers missing his penalty kick has also quickly become viral on social networks.
Eliminated from the 2022 World Cup, Egypt also lost its coach, the Portuguese Carlos Queiroz, who announced his resignation. Such a terrible evening for the Pharaohs.
The Pharaohs have also decided to file a complaint with CAF and FIFA via a press release relayed by the Egyptian media King Fut.
“The Egyptian Football Federation lodged a formal complaint against its Senegalese counterpart with the match observer, the head of security, CAF and FIFA, before the start of the match between the two teams. The team Egypt suffered racism after abusive banners appeared in the stands targeting players, including Mohamed Salah.
In addition, Senegalese fans terrorized Egyptian players by throwing bottles and stones at them during warm-up, as well as ‘by attacking the Egyptian team bus, resulting in shards of glass and injuries, which was documented with photos and video attached to the complaint.
