DALLAS — Egyptian coach Hossam Hassan said he has no issue with the Dallas Police Department after an officer had a brief altercation with the coach’s brother, team manager Ibrahim Hassan.

„Incidents like that happen, of course,” Hassan said in a press conference after Egypt’s shootout victory over Australia. „We have nothing to follow up in that regard.”

The incident occurred at the team’s Dallas hotel late on Thursday. The police department said officers “responded to the Westin at the request of hotel security regarding an individual without event credentials attempting to gain access.”

The Hassan twins are both decorated former players for both club Al-Ahly and Egypt’s national team, for which they competed at the 1990 World Cup.

Egypt will play its next match in Atlanta.
