He was shown a yellow card for this action and for his coach, Rudi Garcia, who ordered his substitution and he looked serious on the bench.
Al Nassr, 2nd in the Saudi Arabian League, one point behind leaders Al Ittiyad, went ahead in the first minute when Sami Al Naji scored and extended their lead to 21′ thanks to a goal from Abdullah Al Khaibari. In the 49′, after the break, Mohammed Maran scored the third for Al Nassr. In the 69th minute, Abdulfattah Adam scored Abha’s only ‘target’ from a penalty.
Al Nassr’s opponent in the semifinals will be Al Wehda, beating Al Batin 2-1. Meanwhile, Al Ittihad beat Al Feiha on penalties (3-4 after a 1-1 loss) and in the semifinals they will face the winner of the match between Al Hilal and Al Fateh.
