Midfielder Shawky was lucky to stay on the pitch after being involved in an off-the-ball spat with Egypt teammate Ahmed Eid, who was sent off in the process.

A few minutes later, Algerian starlet Sayoud was given straight red for a reckless challenge on Hodoud’s Mohamed Al-Herda.

“Shawky and Sayoud will be fined. Even if we’re playing a friendly match, this conduct is unacceptable and every play must know that,” Ahli football director Sayed Abdul-Hafiz said.

A sensational Mohamed Abou-Treika strike saw Ahli win their third friendly game in preparation of this month’s Champions League tie with South Africa’s Supersport United.
