Users of the X platform (previously Twitter) circulated footage showing what Matthias Yessele, the technical director of Al-Ahli Club, did with the ball holder during the team’s match with his counterpart on Friday night.
The footage showed Al-Ahli’s coach keeping the ball on the field line and refusing to give it to the holder, before a match referee spoke to him and demanded that he give it to the holder of the balls, for the latter to get it.

German manager Matthias Yessele confirmed that the scenario of his team’s game against the al-ettifaq was a surprise to him.
he added “Absences have affected us negatively, whether do injuries or suspensions, but we have done our best and come up with a point for agreement.”
He continued: “We conceded the two goals because we lost focus, the goals come because of mistakes, and yet we did a good game.”
Yassele concluded his remarks by saying: “The Persian Persian is returning from engagement with the team, he was not at full capacity, so I preferred to pump new blood into the team, and indeed we managed to draw and we were close to winning.”
