Security forces fired shots during a controversial match between Al Ittihad and Swehly on Thursday, May 14, in Libya, an incident that escalated tensions both inside and outside the stadium.
The unrest reportedly stemmed from dissatisfaction among Al Ittihad supporters, who expressed outrage over the referee’s decisions, believing that three penalties should have been awarded to their team. This discontent led to violent reactions from the fans, resulting in chaotic scenes.
The match was halted ten minutes before the final whistle as security forces intervened. Players were evacuated from the pitch as the situation deteriorated further.
