The defender of Al Ahli Tripoli of Libya, Thienry Manzi through his social media page has apologized to Simba's midfielder, Deborah Fernandez, after he hurt her in the African Confederation Cup play-off stage played at Benjamin Mkapa Stadium and Simba emerged and a 3-1 victory
The incident happened in the second half where Manzi was seen stepping on Deborah after the two fell while fighting for the ball.
Referee Abdoulaye Manet from Guinea showed him a yellow card even though it was obvious he deserved a red card
"Brother Fernandez (Deborah), I believe you are doing well and I'm sorry for the incident that happened yesterday in the match, I didn't mean to hurt you and I didn't intend to," wrote Manzi while adding:
"I thank God that you were not hurt too much. I wish you all the best in your talent and may God bless you, I wish you all the best with the Coders," wrote Manzi
Not only Deborah, Manzi also made deliberate racks for Jean Ahoua and Lionel Ateba in other events that the judges did not see
The player seemed to be intent on hurting the Simba players as several times he seemed to be in conflict with the Simba players. The young people of the city say 'he missed the match'
In that game, Manzi did not deserve to finish all 90 minutes if the referees had been careful and observed the 17 rules of soccer
