The match concluded with Rui Vitoria’s side securing a commanding 2-0 win over Group A opponents on Sunday. Trezeguet, formerly of Aston Villa, contributed with a brace, marking their second triumph of the week.

However, the positive outcome was overshadowed by an unsettling scene in the closing moments when a group of opposing fans stormed the pitch.

Chaos ensued, with attempts to reach Salah and his teammates resulting in physical altercations. Swift intervention by security personnel averted any injuries, promptly removing the involved individuals from the field.

In the aftermath, Salah was escorted by military officers as he made his way off the pitch, ensuring his safety amid the escalating situation.

Reports from The Express suggest that some Sierra Leone fans who breached the pitch had intentions to harm the Liverpool forward, although confirmation remains pending.
