The 10-time winners of the competition were left incensed by the conduct of the home side, however, accusing them of several violations, including attacks on and abuse of their players, failure to provide safe transport for them, and pitch invasions during their training session.

The violations took place before, during and also after Saturday's game in the CAF Champions League," a statement from the Egyptian giants read, according to KingFut.
"During Friday's training session, some of Al-Hilal fans invaded the pitch and threw fireworks on our players amid the presence of CAF's representative who recorded the incident.
"Despite the decision to play the match behind closed doors for security reasons, Al Hilal allowed 1 000 supporters into the stadium. Moreover, they did not provide suitable and secured transportation for our team.
"A member of Al-Hilal's medical staff attacked our player Mohamed Abdel-Moneim with a medical instrument before insisting on staying on the bench despite receiving a red card by the referee and he also tried to attack our keeper Mohamed El Shennawy after the final whistle.
"Al-Hilal failed to provide any kind of safety precautions for Al Ahly as the attending supporters verbally abused the head of Al Ahly's delegation as well as the members of the Egyptian embassy before attacking the players while leaving the game.
"What happened on Saturday is a repeated scenario of violations from the Sudanese club which took place on previous occasions, including the pitch invasion during a game on 2 February 2020, however, the club refused to complain back then to maintain the good relations between both clubs."
