This time, disgraceful scenes marred the game between Al-Hilal and MC Alger.

Instead of dissecting Hilal’s shock 2-1 win over the Algerian champions, we were subjected to chaotic scenes at the Amahoro Stadium, where police were forced to step in and separate players and officials as a full-blown skirmish erupted at the final whistle.

All it took was a Hilal player who reportedly kicked a water bottle towards the Alger bench, and the situation exploded.
