Moroccan striker Abderrazak Hamdallah was lashed twice after confronting the unnamed individual and throwing water in their direction. Tensions then boiled over as several of Hamdallah's team-mates rushed over. Karim Benzema and N'Golo Kante both started for Al-Ittihad but were helpless to prevent the Saudi Pro League side from slumping to a 4-1 defeat. Hamdallah appeared to bear the brunt of frustration from the stands despite scoring the equaliser on 21 minutes and was later targeted by one irate spectator. ????
