Saifi struck out at Asma Halimi, a journalist with Algerian daily Competition, in an interview area in the wake of the match the Americans won 1-0.
Haili, who had written an article on Saifi some time before the incident, managed to get a slap of her own in before complaining to FIFA, world football's governing body.
