The Egyptian Premier League match between the National Bank of Egypt and Arab Contractors will stand out for fans not just because of the score but for a remarkable display of gratitude on the field.
Details: In the 80th minute, after a controversial goal was awarded, home striker Ahmed Amin Ofa took an unexpected step. He approached the referee, held his head with both hands, and passionately kissed him.
This surprising act came during a tense moment, as the match’s outcome was still uncertain. Instead of the typical protests or exuberant celebrations with teammates, Ofa directed his joy toward the referee.
The referee seemed taken aback by this show of affection, managing to keep a straight face even as the scene appeared quite amusing from the sidelines.
