This Thursday, Al Hilal, led by Portuguese Jorge Jesús, beat Al Ittihad, a team led by Marcelo Gallardo and where Frenchman Karim Benzema plays, in the final of the Saudi Arabia Super Cup.
The 4-1 win at the Mohmmed Bin Zayed Stadium in Abu Dhabi allowed Al Hilal to win their fourth title in the tournament and reach 34 consecutive victories. despite not having the Brazilian Neymar, who is recovering from a serious knee injury.

This was the attack with whips from the stands
However, an unusual action ended up tarnishing Al Hilal's celebration and left the Al Ittihad fans in a very bad position. A supporter of that club had a terrible gesture against the Moroccan Abderrazak Hamdallah, one of the forwards of the losing team.
The fanatic started throwing water at Hamdallah. This one, who had a bottle in his hand, responded in the same way. And the fan, in retaliation, took out a whip and attacked the footballer.
Several of Hamdallah's companions tried to go up to the stands to defend him, while members of the logistics team took away the aggressor, who, apparently, did not resist.
Al Hilal has not had a good time in recent weeks. He has lost five of the last ten games, between Saudi Super League, Asian Champions League and Super Cup.
Criticism of Gallardo is growing, but now, a fan has taken sides against Hamdallah, who is the team's top scorer, with 29 goals scored this season, including all competitions.
