    Despite KAF’s decision to play the match without spectators; Due to the lack of security conditions at the stadium and informing the Al-Ahly club about this; However, Al-Hilal did not comply with this decision and allowed more than a thousand spectators from among their fans to the meeting.

    Al-Hilal failed to make a commitment to provide safe and decent means of transportation for the Al-Ahli team, and flooded the team’s players’ dressing room with sewage after the match.

    – When the medical staff of the Al Hilal team came down to assist a player during the match, one of the members of the staff attacked Al Ahly defender Mohamed Abdel Moneim with one of the medical instruments and the referee of the match gave him a red card, and he was obliged to leave the stadium forever.
