Al-Ain's player, Moroccan Sofiane Rahimi, expressed his surprise at the decisions of Mexican referee Cesar Ramos in the match that brought 'The Leader' together with Khourfakan in the 18th round of the Pro League, which ended with Al-Ain winning 3-2. Rahimi scored a hat-trick at Sqr Bin Mohammad Al-Qasimi Stadium in front of about 1,500 spectators. The referee awarded two penalties to Khourfakan, from which the home team scored two goals, which sparked the Moroccan player's protests at the end of the match. Rahimi said in a press statement: 'I can't say anything, and if I talk, I will be held accountable for it. Everyone saw what happened, and the referee's decisions almost caused us to draw or even lose.' He also added: 'In the match against Bani Yas, we were not good in the first half, and against Khourfakan, we were the better side.'
