Two teammates from Egyptian club Future FC traded blows after drawing 0-0 at BUL FC of Uganda in a CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round first leg on Saturday.
Eyewitnesses told AFP that veteran goalkeeper Mahmoud 'Genesh' Abdel Rahim and midfielder Ahmed Refaat had to be separated by other members of the team as the African club season kicked off.
But the home team could not unlock the visitors' defence, leaving Future as favourites to win the second leg and meet Buffles Borgou of Benin or Kallon FC of Sierra Leone in a last-32 tie. Ahly and Zamalek are competing in the richer and more prestigious CAF Champions League this season, leaving Future and Pyramids to carry the Egyptian flag in the Confederation Cup.
