Players also had rocks and bottles thrown at them and had lasers shone in their faces during the penalty shootout. As reported by KickOff, EFA president Gamal Allam, confirmed that the Egyptians would be requesting a rematch.

“In Egypt, we treated Senegal well and they were protected since the moment they arrived.

“When we arrived in Senegal, we were insulted at the airport and we received bad treatment from the workers there and when we arrived at the stadium, the bus driver didn’t enter directly, he kept driving around for us to see the fans cursing at us and insulting us,” Allam said.

Allam added that the match was played in a terrible atmosphere and they would be speaking with FIFA President, Gianni Infantino.

He also noted that they had evidence of the lasers that were used, photos of the bus that was attacked, and the water bottles that were thrown at goalkeeper, Mohammed El Shenawy.
