The first team of "Al-Hilal" from Saudi Arabia has successfully achieved its first victory in the group stage of the AFC Champions League this season. The match between "Nassaji" Iranian and "Al-Hilal" was paused in the 30th minute due to a clash between players, which resulted in Mitrovic falling to the ground. Players intervened to prevent the situation from escalating, including Salman Al-Faraj, and the game remained stopped for more than 5 minutes. While exiting, Al-Faraj was attacked by fans in the stands, forcing him to return to the field as he was unable to reach the exit gate.
What the Iranian fans are doing and the Asian Federation stands idly by. Who protects the players of Saudi clubs!!!! #AlHilal_Nassaji
The goalkeeper of Nassaji, Rashid Mazaheri, escorted Al-Faraj to the tunnel leading to the locker rooms amid attempts by players to calm the fans.
After these events, the match resumed normally, and Al-Hilal ended the game with a score of 3-0, with a goal from Saleh Al-Shehri.
