Former Tunisian referee Mohamed bin Hassaneh confirmed the validity of the second goal of the Zamalek team, which was scored by Moroccan star Ashraf Ben Sharqi in the net of Moez Bin Sharifia, Esperance goalkeeper, during the match that brought the two teams together on Friday evening, and ended with the victory of the white knight, with a score of 1 – 1, The African Champions League quarter-finals are gone.
The Esperance players had strongly objected to Radouane Gayed, the Moroccan referee of the match, after Ashraf Ben Sharqy scored Zamalek’s second goal in the 71st minute of the match, on the pretext of a violation in favor of Tunisian captain Khalil Chammam.
Bin Hasana said in remarks to radio ” ifmAl-Tunisia: “The second goal of Zamalek is legitimate, because Bin Sharqi did not make any mistake on Khalil Shammam, in the second goal shot.”
On the expulsion of Muhammad Ali bin Ramadan, the former Tunisian referee said: “The red card was not in order. Bin Ramadan did not commit any disgraceful behavior towards the ruling, and I advise Esperance officials not to protest to the CAF on the expulsion shot, because the CAF if it responds to the request Esperance will cancel the expulsion, but in return he will impose disciplinary punishment on both Shams Al-Thawadi and Ihab Al-Mubaraki for having assaulted the referee.
As for the penalty kick that was calculated for Zamalek, Mohammed bin Hassana indicated that it is a correct penalty, and there is no doubt about it.
Zamalek scored the goal against Esperance, Mohamed Onajem, Ashraf Bin Sharqi and Mahmoud Alaa from a penalty kick, in the 31st, 71st and 2nd minute of wasted time, while the only Esperance goal was scored by Abdel Raouf Bin Ghaith, in the 27th minute.
The white knight succeeded in repeating the Tunisian giant with the same result, two weeks ago, after winning the African Super title, which was held in Doha, Qatar.
It is worth noting that, next Friday, the return match will bring the two teams to the “Rades” stadium, the stronghold of the Tunisian Esperance team.
