Risha Resolves the Controversy Over Savic's Incident Against Al-Khaleej

Egyptian referee expert Mohamed Kamal Risha spoke about the incident involving Sergei Savic, the midfielder for Al-Hilal, during his team's match against Al-Khaleej in the Roshn Saudi League competition yesterday, Thursday.

It is worth mentioning that Al-Hilal won against Al-Khaleej with a score of three goals to none, with Salem Al-Dosari scoring two goals and Serbian Alexander Mitrovic scoring one goal.

During the match, Savic received a yellow card in the 37th minute after his tackle on Saeed Al-Hamsal, a player from Al-Khaleej, but the decision angered Al-Khaleej players who called for the expulsion of the Al-Hilal player.

In this regard, Risha stated in his remarks that Savic's tackle on the Al-Khaleej player was not excessively forceful; it was reckless, not violent play.

Risha agreed with the referee's decision to issue Savic a yellow card instead of a red card, and noted that the referee managed the match well.
