What Manchester United's Hannibal Mejbri did at half-time after throwing ball at Australia player's head

Manchester United's Hannibal Mejbri was told to shake hands with Mitchell Duke on Saturday at the World Cup after throwing the ball at the felled Australian striker's head from the sidelines, which led to a confrontation between the two players.

Although Hannibal was an unused substitute in Tunisias's 1-0 defeat by Australia, he managed to make headlines regardless when hitting Duke with the ball from the sidelines when the Socceroos' star was down on the floor with an injury.

Duke stood up to confront Hannibal but he managed to remain relatively calm. The referee then asked both players to shake hands, which they complied with before a half-time chat.
