The Disciplinary Board of the Confederation of African Football has fined Sudanese club Al Hilal Al Hilal Omdurman over the behaviour of their supporters in Saturday’s Caf Champions League clash with Al Ahly.
The encounter at Estadio Al Hilal ended 1-1, leading to the home team’s elimination from the continent’s top club competition as they needed a win to progress from Group B.
During and after the game, fans of the hosts invaded the pitch and attacked players of the Egyptian giants which forced local security forces to intervene in the melee.
It’s led to Caf’s Disciplinary Board imposing a fine of $100,000 on Al Hilal, which could be reduced by half if there isn’t a recurrence in the next 12 months.
