According to those close to the situation, Mbeumo accepted the apology with good humour, recognising that the exchange carried more of a “little brother” energy than any form of provocation. The brief interaction between the players was resolved amicably.

The episode drew mixed reactions from fans on social media, with many finding the gesture amusing while others felt it crossed a line of professional conduct. Amad’s quick response was seen as a sign of maturity and respect for his fellow professionals.
