The International Federation (Fifa) has sanctioned the selection of Senegal for the incidents of March 29 during the second leg against Egypt (1-0, 3-1 on pens) in qualifying for the 2022 World Cup in Qatar (November 21 – 18 december). The Teranga Lions were sentenced to a match behind closed doors, and the Federation fined 170,866 euros, about 900 million fcfa.
The consequences of a turbulent match in the stands with in particular the throwing of objects, the use of lasers and smoke bombs as well as an “offensive” banner according to Fifa. The penalty shootout was marked by the presence of many lasers pointed at the faces of the players especially Mohamad Salah.
The Algerian Federation was also ordered to pay a fine of 2,929 euros, due to the lighting of smoke bombs and the throwing of objects during its elimination in the play-off against Cameroon (1-2, ap), on 29 March in Blida.
These sanctions do not however prejudge a possible sporting decision, after the Algerian appeal asking Fifa to replay the match because of the “scandalous arbitration”, according to the Algerian Federation, of the Gambian Bakary Gassama. While they thought they would qualify following Touba’s equalizer (118th), the Fennecs were taken aback by Toko Ekambi’s goal in the 120th + 4.
Yesterday the Algerians residing in Europe protested again in view of a match replay for Qatar 2022.
