Al Ahly head coach Pitso Mosimane has backed Mohamed El-Shennawy's argumentative reaction during the Caf Champions League match against Simba SC on Friday.
Al Ahly won 1-0 but El-Shenawy's response after a collision with an opponent in the 87th minute was among the highlights of the game. The goalkeeper consequently received a yellow card as a warning for his reaction.
"His [El-Shennawy] reaction was normal, what would you do if someone punched you in the face. And what he did is common in the African Champions League," Mosimane said in his post-match interview as they concluded the Group A assignments.
