beIN Sports reported that FIFA has decided not to re-match Senegal and Egypt as well as Algeria and Cameroon in the play-off phase of the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifiers.

During the match between Senegal and Egypt on March 29, fans shone laser pointers at Egyptian star Mohamed Salah as he missed in the penalty shootout, won by Senegal.

Senegal was fined 175,000 Swiss francs ($180,000) over several incidents, including a pitch invasion, an offensive banner, and for failing “to ensure that law and order are maintained in the stadium”.

FIFA issued a raft of sanctions worldwide after studying dozens of cases from World Cup qualifying games played since the start of the year.
