The Egyptian Football Association’s (EFA) disciplinary committee have revealed that they did not suspend Al Ahly’s Mohamed El-Shennawy.

Newly promoted side Bank Al Ahly managed to hold the Red Devils to a goalless draw on Sunday.

During the game, Al Ahly thought they found the back of the net in the second half through Ayman Ashraf.

However, his strike was controversially ruled out by VAR for an alleged foul in the build-up to the goal.

The incident caused an uproar among Al Ahly’s technical staff, players, and fans as it denied them the victory and the three points.

One of the players who objected to the decision was team skipper Mohamed El-Shennawy who was seen having a heated argument with the referee after the game.

As a result, the 32-year-old was handed a four-game suspension as well as an EGP 20,000 fine.
