The match between Al Hilal Saudi Arabia and the Mumbai Indian team in the Asian Championship took place between Al Hilal professional player Mitrovic and one of the players of the opposing team.
Television footage showed the Al Hilal player getting emotional at the opposing defender during a shared ball, in a rare incident for the Serbian striker, which prompted the match referee to raise the yellow card in the faces of both players.
Al Hilal won the away match with two unanswered goals to continue its progress in the Asian Championship.
Aleksandar Mitrovic, 29 years old, reached goal No. 5 in the AFC Championship this season 2023/24.

The Serbian striker scored a goal, through which he contributed to Al Hilal’s victory over Mumbai City FC with a double, in the fourth round of the group stage in the AFC Champions League competition.
Al Hilal continued its series of local and continental victories with excellence, despite the absence of its Brazilian star due to a torn cruciate ligament and his absence from the stadiums for a period that may extend to six full months.
Al Hilal will host the Al Taawoun team in the next round of the Saudi Roshan League, which is at the top of the standings with 32 goals, and the match will be held at six in the evening next Friday, local time in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
Al-Hilal player Sergei Savic was also injured last Friday, during the match between Al-Hilal and its counterpart Al-Fateh, which ended with Al-Hilal winning with two unanswered goals in the 12th round of the Saudi Professional League.
Al Hilal Club said through its official account on the social media platform X (formerly Twitter): “Sergey Savic was unable to leave with the team’s delegation to India.”
