During the match between Qatar SC and Tunisian club CS Sfaxien for the King Salman Club Cup in Tunisia, tensions erupted in the stands and on the field.
A brawl took place on the field between Qatar SC's midfielder Bashar Resan in the second half of the game, and a Sfaxien player who he ended up hitting with the ball.
The first signs of tension was when CS Sfaxien fans lit up flares that created a strained environment for Qatar SC players to play in.
In the 71st minute of the match, a flare tossed by the fans erupted right next to Qatar SC's goalkeeper Saate’a Al Abbasi, who fell on the pitch from the impact.
