We’ve all seen players stomp off the pitch in barely suppressed anger after their manager has subbed them out of a game. Yesterday night, Uganda Cranes, Abdu Lumala who plays for Pyramids appeared not pleased as he was substituted off before halftime in their Egyptian Premier League away tie against El-Harby.

Not a good day in office for #Uganda Player Abdu LUMALA in #Egypt today.

In the 39th minute of the game, former Cranes Head Coach Sebatien Desabre decided to change Lumala for Islam Issa as his side had failed to break the deadlock. Lumala angrily stormed off the pitch before kicking his team’s official who was standing in the technical area.

Pyramids immediately got two quick goals when Lumala was off but they later survived a late scare as El-Harby nearly overturned their lead. The game ended 3-2.
