Hamdallah Splashed Fan with Water, Inciting Fury
The bizarre incident unfolded after Hamdallah attempted to splash the fan with water as he walked off the pitch.

Teammates and Security Intervene
Fortunately, Hamdallah’s teammates were quick to intervene and shield him from further harm.
Another fan also helped to restrain the attacker before security personnel arrived at the scene.
