After a tense game with Farnsey in his preparatory camp in Portugal to prepare for the new season, al-itthad players came out to protect the security personnel.
The friction between Etihad’s joy at Al-Shamrani and his counterpart, Portugal’s Farnsey, sparked the crisis against the two sides to end the clash in the 86th minute and before the end of its official time by 3/1 in favour of the host.
The spark of events began after the verdict was wrongly awarded in favour of Mohamed Vlata of the Federation team, after which the Portuguese Farnsey player Farah Alshamrani, who was preparing to execute the mistake, began clashes between the players and the referee decided to publish the red card in the face of Al Shamrani and the Portuguese Farnsey player.
The clashes did not stop, but the Farnsey fans attempted to attack the seats of the Federation’s substitutes, after which the verdict decided to close the game in the 86th minute without completing it.
The Federation had involved its core team in the first half, which ended with the Federation advancing with a single goal scored by Karim Benzema in the industry of debutant Moussa Diaby in the first major engagement with the al-itthad after participating for minutes against Sevilla on Friday.
In the second half, team coach Laurent Blanc made 10 substitutions by engaging the backup team while keeping Mohamed Al-Mahassa as the team’s keeper, who completed the encounter until the end.
The Al-itthad will play Real Betis at the Pinto Viamarin Stadium as part of the Federation team’s preparatory series in Spain, concluding their clashes in their European camp against Inter Milan on Wednesday, August 7.
