League Play-Off

Asdima
Spectators: 39 (Terracing: 30, Seating: 9, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Yassine Taha started the match with the kick off. Taimour Saeed made an important save on a dangerous shot by Nabil El-Ghandour in the 3rd minute. The supporters of Asdima booed when Daragil was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 3 match minutes in a wonderful position. Thabit Gamal didn't get a good kick on the ball. Radwan El-Ghandour received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 9th minute. Ramez Mazen tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Moamen Fikry had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 12th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. An unexpectedly hard shot by Moamen Fikry in the 14th minute of play forced Asdima's goalkeeper Ramez Mazen to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. When Moamen Fikry came up free with the goalie in the 17th minute, the Daragil fans jumped to their feet. But the shot missed the goal by a fraction of an inch, and the fans sat back down disappointed that Moamen Fikry couldn't finish the play. In the 19th minute Yassine Taha shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Taimour Saeed saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. If Radwan El-Ghandour had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 22nd minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. If Moamen Fikry had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 25th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 28 played minutes Asdima got a freekick which was hit by Reda Raouf. In the 30th minute the ball was on its way in behind Asdima's goalkeeper Ramez Mazen, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. The audience thought a goal was coming when Nabil El-Ghandour got free with Taimour Saeed in the 32nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. After a rather tough play, Daragil's Mido Fouad got a free kick in the 33rd minute. Daragil's Taimour Saeed proved his good apprehension of play when he, in the 34th minute of the match, managed to save Daragil from getting a goal against them. If Thabit Gamal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 36th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 39th minute the ball was on its way in behind Asdima's goalkeeper Ramez Mazen, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Nabil El-Ghandour fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 45th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Taimour Saeed having to interfere. Ramez Mazen stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Radwan El-Ghandour's shot from short distance in the 52nd minute.

The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Radwan El-Ghandour was the one to do the kick off. Nabil El-Ghandour received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 58th minute. Taimour Saeed tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. In the 62nd minute, Radwan El-Ghandour got an opportunity to score, but he didn't get a solid hit on the ball and ended up kicking it wide of the goal. Ramez Mazen made an important save on a dangerous shot by Moamen Fikry in the 66th minute. Nabil El-Ghandour struck a weak shot in the 76th minute. Taimour Saeed didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Asdima. Nabil El-Ghandour recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 78th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. 80 minutes into the game, Nabil El-Ghandour cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-0. Taimour Saeed was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. If Radwan El-Ghandour had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 87th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Waheed Serag kicked well hit freekick during the 88th minute of the match. Waheed Serag might have been able to make a better finish in the 92nd minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Taimour Saeed. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Waheed Serag ran back to his position shaking his head. Marwan Saad took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 93rd minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Taimour Saeed. Daragil's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. 97 minutes into the match, Asdima's goal looked a bit too open when Radwan El-Ghandour came free, but Ramez Mazen reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Yassine Taha scored 2-0 in the 101st match minute with a shot that went into the goal to the right of Taimour Saeed, who was just a little too slow in reacting to the shot. For all the effort they put into the match, the Daragil players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Asdima.
