The match between Sierra Leone and Egypt had a shameful episode. Several fans jumped onto the pitch in an attempt to attack Mohamed Salah, star of the ‘Pharaohs’.

The match between Sierra Leone and Egypt had, as well as the victory for the visitors, an attempted assault on the great Egyptian star, Mohamed Salah.

It was the 89th minute when the match had to be stopped with the score at 0-2, a result that would come at the end of the match. A home fan entered the pitch.

First, a fan assaulted Salah, but his team-mates were quick enough to push him away and prevent him from being assaulted while security arrived.

Later, while the first spontaneous person was being beaten up, another spontaneous person came out and attempted to assault the Egypt and Liverpool striker.
