Will CAF Punish Al-Ahly Star Yasser Ibrahim?
Al Ahly of Egypt lost to Tunisia's Esperance with a score of 1-0 last Sunday in the first leg of the CAF Champions League quarter-finals.
The debate has notably intensified in the past few hours regarding a scene involving Al Ahly defender Yasser Ibrahim after the end of the match, as it spread widely across social media platforms.
Video clips captured by fans and several cameras showed the moment Yasser Ibrahim left the field after the final whistle. He appeared to make a gesture with his hand across his neck (a throat-slitting gesture) as he headed towards the locker rooms, which the Esperance fans considered a provocative signal directed at them.
Some voices have called for CAF to intervene and impose disciplinary sanctions on the player.
Al Ahly will face Esperance in the second leg of the Champions League quarter-finals next Saturday.
