CAIRO: Zamalek slammed Mahmoud “Shikabala Abdel Razeq with an LE 25,000 fine after his insulting gestures towards Al Ahly s crowd in the Cairo derby on Monday.
The club s official website confirmed the sanction and denounced Shikabala s attitude despite the persistent insults from Al Ahly s crowd and their abusive chants for more than half an hour.
After the game, the Zamalek forward was caught on camera with his shoe aloft against Al Ahly s fans, triggering a quarrel on the pitch between players from both sides.
He was targeted by a barrage of insults from some thousands of Al Ahly fans during the second period, of Zamalek s 1-0 defeat.
Al Ahly defender Emad Al-Nahhas, who descends from Shikabala s home town of Aswan, tried to calm down the Zamalek wizard but his efforts were in vain.
Shikabala has also engaged with Al Ahly s Ahmed Al-Sayed, who castigated him for provoking the red fans.
