Boo’s, jeers and whistles could be heard from the crowd, after the Saudi players failed to pay their respects. Some Saudi fans rose to their players defense on Social Media, claiming it’s not in their culture to give a moments silence, rather to pray instead.

Visitors to Saudi Arabia expected to respect local laws and culture, yet that's not reciprocated when abroad.
