Egyptian Football Association president Gamal Allam has revealed a request has been made for the World Cup qualifier against Senegal to be replayed.
The EFA president Allam said in an interview with Youm7 Sports, that Egypt have already requested a replay and will be presenting to FIFA officials why they believe the game should be replayed:
“I am on my way to Qatar to attend the FIFA Congress on Thursday afternoon. We asked to meet FIFA President Gianni Infantino as well as Patrice Motsepe, President of the Confederation of African Football.
“We asked for a replay of the match because the match was held in a strange atmosphere, and if we had lost in normal circumstances, we would have congratulated Senegal.
“We will present what happened to the disciplinary committee in the Federation and await a response. There are many things that happened with us in the match. Our players were attacked.
“Mohamed Salah had the most share of the Senegalese fans’ attack on him, which tried to intimidate the players as well, and we asked that the board of directors be on the bench of the match but they refused.”
