There was a complaint from the Egyptian Football Association against Senegal because of the fans’ use of laser beams against the Pharaohs players in the match, especially during the penalty shootout.
The FIFA statement revealed that the Senegalese federation had imposed a penalty of 175,000 Swiss francs for playing a match without an audience.
FIFA stated that the reason was the failure of the Senegalese Football Association to provide order and security at matches and the current safety rules and failure to ensure the maintenance of order in the stadium, the intrusion of fans onto the pitch and the littering of the field, as well as the lighting of fireworks and the use of lasers and non-sporting banners.
FIFA explained that there is another penalty for the Egyptian Football Association for the same match and misconduct, amounting to 6000 Swiss francs.
