Following the Saudi Super Cup final, Al-Ittihad’s forward Abderrazak Hamdallah was attacked by a fan with a whip. This incident occurred after Al-Ittihad’s 4-1 loss to Al-Hilal.
The assault happened during the post-match events when Hamdallah exchanged heated words and threw water at a spectator. The fan whipped Hamdallah in retaliation, leading to an immediate response from team members and security.
The game, which saw participation from stars like N’Golo Kante, Karim Benzema for Al-Ittihad, and spectator Neymar for Al-Hilal, ended on a distressing note due to this violence.
This event overshadowed the Cup final, raising questions about future disciplinary measures against the aggressive fan.
In other news, Al-Hilal could secure four trophies this season, as they lead the Saudi Pro League by 12 points and have reached the semi-finals of both the Asian Champions League and the Saudi King’s Cup.
Their win followed a contentious semi-final with Al-Nassr, where Cristiano Ronaldo was ejected for aggressive behaviour, which coach Jorge Jesus attributed to Ronaldo’s unaccustomedness to losing.
