A Hespress and Hesport correspondent in Morocco’s Oriental region was assaulted by Libyan team Abu Salem SC’s players and staff on Sunday, following a match in which RS Berkane won 3-2 in the second leg of the African Confederation Cup quarterfinals.

The assault occurred while the correspondent was documenting the Libyan team’s players and staff attacking the match referee. He was, in turn, attacked by players and staff of Abu Salem to prevent him from filming.

Players and staff from the Libyan team initially attacked the match officials to protest after RS Berkane scored a decisive goal in the game’s last seconds.
