Incident took place at the end of the Saudi Arabian Super Cup between Al-Ittihad, Karim Benzema's team, and Al-Hilal. The heavy defeat of the French striker and his teammates angered a spectator.
Images relayed by the Marca site first show a verbal exchange between Abderrazak Hamdallah and the individual who came down to the foot of the stand to express his discontent. The Moroccan international then tried to come to blows with his attacker but he was kept aside by security. Like Benzema, the team led by Argentinian Marcelo Gallardo only occupies 4th place in the Saudi Pro League, far from the ambitions displayed at the start of the season. The match was played at the Mohammed Bin Zayed Stadium in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. The winner of the competition Al-hilal (4-1) will face Al-Khor in the final on Sunday. The final will be held at the King Fahad Stadium in Riyadh.
