Africa-Press – Mozambique. <\/strong><\/span>Egypt have lodged an official complaint against Senegal in which they claim their team was subjected to racism and \u201cterrorised\u201d by home fans in Dakar.<\/p>\n

Sadio Mane\u2019s winning shootout penalty sealed Senegal\u2019s World Cup place with his Liverpool teammate Mohamed Salah among those to miss for Egypt. Egypt captain Salah was one of several visiting players targeted by green laser pointers during the shootout.<\/p>\n

It is also claimed the Egypt team bus was attacked, causing injuries. In a statement, the Egyptian Football Association [EFA] said it had lodged a formal complaint against its Senegalese counterpart before the match, filing this with Fifa, the Confederation of African Football [CAF], the match observer and the security official.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Egyptian team was subjected to racism after the appearance of offensive banners in the stands aimed at the players, specifically Mohamed Salah,\u201d the statement added.<\/p>\n

\u201cMoreover the Senegalese fans terrorised the Egyptian players by throwing bottles and stones at them during warm-up, as well as attacking the Egyptian team bus, which caused glass shattering and some injuries, which was documented with pictures and videos attached to the complaint.\u201d<\/p>\n

The EFA shared images of the damage to the team bus on Instagram, along with images of the offensive banner directed at Salah.<\/p>\n

Dakar\u2019s new 50,000-seater Stade Me Abdoulaye Wade was filled to capacity as Senegal beat Egypt 1-0 to make the score 1-1 on aggregate after extra-time in the World Cup play-off match.<\/p>\n

The Africa Cup of Nations champions once again got the better of Egypt in a shootout, six weeks on from their triumph in the Afcon final, winning 3-1 on penalties to secure a place at the Qatar tournament in November.<\/p>\n

As Liverpool forward Salah stepped up to take his penalty, green lasers could be seen shining on his face before he fired his effort over the crossbar.<\/p>\n

At full-time, the 29-year-old had to be escorted down the tunnel by security personnel as supporters threw objects from above.<\/p>\n

Fifa\u2019s disciplinary body is analysing reports from the game before deciding on any next steps to be taken.<\/p>\n

President of the Senegalese Federation, Augustin Senghor \u2014 who is also the vice-president of CAF \u2014 said he would await official reports on the incidents.<\/p>\n

\u201cFrom the stands, I didn\u2019t pay attention to the projectiles thrown,\u201d Senghor said. \u201cAbout the lasers, if it happened this is a first in Senegal. But we know that in Cairo there were a lot of these and [they are used] often in specific countries. Senegal isn\u2019t used to that.\u201d<\/p>\n

He added: \u201cIn my opinion, I didn\u2019t see during this game something that could be considered as chauvinism because the Senegalese are known to be very welcoming.\u201d<\/p>\n
