Al-Shehri to “Sport 24”: The referee did not award a penalty kick for Al-Ittihad against Al-Hilal

The former referee in the Saudi Football Association, Saleh Al-Shehri, spoke about some of the decisions of the Al-Hilal and Al-Ittihad match in the 27th round of the Roshan League.

Al-Shehri said, in exclusive statements to “Sport 24”: “The referee had an impact on the outcome of the match by not awarding a penalty kick in favor of Al-Ittihad,” noting that the first goal of the Al-Ittihad team against Al-Hilal was correct and there was no violation of the Al-Ittihad player.

The former referee in the Saudi Football Association completed his statements by noting that the first goal of Al-Hilal was not clear to him to see the entire ball pass like the second goal of Al-Hilal.

Al-Hilal tied with its counterpart Al-Ittihad with two goals each in the match that brought them together yesterday evening, Tuesday, at the top of the matches of the 27th round of the Roshen Professional League, which was held at Prince Faisal bin Fahd Stadium in Malaz.

The double of Al-Ittihad was scored by Coronado and Ahmed Bamasoud in the 8th and 30th minutes, while the double of Al-Hilal, Musab Al-Juwair and Michael, scored in the 41st and 90th + 4 minutes of the match.

With this result, Al-Ittihad’s balance rose to 63 points at the top of the standings table, while Al-Hilal’s balance rose to 50 points in fourth place.
