Al-Ajil continued: "The events that occurred in the match between "Al Wasl" and "Shabab Al Ahli" cannot be reflected in the report, since many fans came from outside the stadium, as well as from other places." In such situations, the match observer is obliged to compile a report on the incidents in any case."
Concluding his statement, he noted: "The match was important and significant for both "Al Wasl" and "Shabab Al Ahli", and there were indeed some confrontations between the fans."
