Moments after the match, frustrated Al Ahly fans directed their ire at head coach Marcel Koller, match officials, and players, hurling water bottles in a chaotic scene that marred the aftermath of their loss to Mamelodi Sundowns at the Cairo International Stadium.

As the players and officials made their way to the exit tunnel, the Red Devils fans, voiced their dissatisfaction. It echoed through the stands as fans expressed their heartbreak and anger aggressively.

Their Cairo fortress, once charged with hope and excitement, transformed into a volatile mixture of discontent and frustration.

The defeat was a hammer blow for Al Ahly, a club synonymous with success in African football. However, the response from their supporters calls into question the notion of sportsmanship that has dogged the growth of football on the continent.

Such displays of poor sportsmanship, verbal abuse, and disrespect towards officials and opponents have marred the reputation of North African football fans.

Al Ahly may soon face severe penalties, including a potential stadium ban and the prospect of playing behind closed doors.

CAF has increasingly taken a tough stance against clubs that breach its rules and regulations.
