Rifah
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27,
Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Yousif Emad kicked off to start the match. 4 minutes into the game, Bahaa Ayman was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Rifah's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Ausim the free kick. After a rather tough play, Rifah's Bahaa Ayman got a free kick in the 4th minute. 5 minutes into the match, Rifah's goal looked a bit too open when Haitham Abu Trika came free, but Refaat Shehta reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. After a defensive mix-up in Rifah's zone, Haitham Abu Trika stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Refaat Shehta came out of the goal and Haitham Abu Trika tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Refaat Shehta showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Haitham Abu Trika, who was totally free with the ball in the 14th minute. If Ramez Gamal had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 16th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Haitham Abu Trika fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 22nd minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Refaat Shehta having to interfere. Ramez Gamal sent away a hard shot on goal in the 23rd minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. Mohammed Yasser showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Yousif Emad, who was totally free with the ball in the 32nd minute. Ramez Gamal received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 34th minute. Refaat Shehta tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Mohammed Yasser showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Bahaa Ayman in the 36th minute of the match. After a rather tough play, Rifah's Abdel Masoud Hossam got a free kick in the 40th minute. After 43 minutes, Nayef Moamen mouthed his way into the referee's book. The tension between the Rifah and the Ausim players grew even worse after the yellow card. Nayef Moamen hit a great freekick 43 minutes into the match. Refaat Shehta stood for a superb save when he managed to get hold of Haitham Abu Trika's shot from short distance in the 47th minute. After fighting hard for a draw in the first half, the players were able to take a much needed rest.
The players of the home team were most fresh-looking when they entered the field to play the second half. Haitham Abu Trika was the one to do the kick off. In the 52ndth minute of the game Haitham Abu Trika who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Rifah's Refaat Shehta was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Haitham Abu Trika recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 55th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After 72 minutes of play, Rifah's Nayef Moamen made it 1-0 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Mohammed Yasser was left in no man's land by his defense there! Refaat Shehta was in the perfect position, and the defense had done a good job marking him, but Haitham Abu Trika showcased his skills and made a perfect shot to score 1-1 in the 75 minute of play. 78 minutes into the game, Haitham Abu Trika recieved a splendid long ball, split the defenders, and gently placed the ball to the left of Refaat Shehta. Haitham Abu Trika showed that you don't have to tear a hole in the net to score, 1-2. Haitham Abu Trika's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Refaat Shehta read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 82nd minute of play. When Mazhar Nagy fell near the penalty area in the 85th minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Ausim's protests and gave Mazhar Nagy a yellow card for diving instead. A collision led to Ausim getting a freekick after 85 minutes play. Mazhar Nagy hit a great ball. A hard, long distance shot from Bahaa Ayman flew over the goal. After a defensive mix-up in Ausim's zone, Rateb Abbas stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mohammed Yasser came out of the goal and Rateb Abbas tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play.
