Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Kamal Barakat got the match started through his kick off. An unexpectedly hard shot by Raouf Mahdy in the 4th minute of play forced Inshas's goalkeeper Shehta Mubarak to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Medhat Sameh sent away a hard shot on goal in the 5th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 6 minutes into the game, Basel Belal was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Inshas's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Fayoom the free kick. Basel Belal hit a great freekick 7 minutes into the match. Nabil Saeed fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 9th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Hamada Refaat having to interfere. Nagy Seddeq sent away a hard shot on goal in the 13th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal.

After a rather tough play, Inshas's Kamal Barakat got a free kick in the 36th minute. Medhat Sameh recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 44th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The players of the away team seemed most concentrated when Medhat Sameh stepped up to make the kick off in the second half. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ashraf Nagy during the 55th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Ashraf Nagy kicked well hit freekick during the 55th minute of the match. If Nagy Seddeq had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 56th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Medhat Sameh might have been able to make a better finish in the 57th minute when he tried to place a hard shot over Shehta Mubarak. Instead the ball went over the crossbar and out. Medhat Sameh ran back to his position shaking his head. The crowd rose to their feet as Fayoom's Raouf Mahdy slotted home a wonderful shot that went in to the left of Shehta Mubarak. That made the score 0-2 after 61 minutes of play. 68 minutes into the game, Faisal Helal was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Fayoom's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Inshas the free kick. The supporters of Inshas booed when Fayoom was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 68 match minutes in a wonderful position. Faisal Helal didn't get a good kick on the ball. The audience held their breath when Ibrahim Abaza in the 70th minute of the game managed to trick the opponents defenses and fired away a shot outside the goal on the Hamada Refaat's left hand side. With a couple of smart ball manuevers Medhat Sameh in the 74th managed to get into a good position. With a left leg Shehta Mubarak saved Inshas from getting behind. If Nabil Saeed had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 78th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After having played for 86 minutes, Nagy Seddeq managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Fayoom's supporters crossed their fingers, but Nagy Seddeq was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Fayoom's Medhat Sameh got a good chance for a goal in the 87th minute, but he totally mistimed the shot and it went over the crossbar. With a little luck, Inshas's Shehta Mubarak got control of the ball when Nagy Seddeq tried to sneak it across the goal line. 90 minutes into the game, Nagy Seddeq cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 0-4. Shehta Mubarak was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. Nagy Seddeq could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 96th minute of the match, but Shehta Mubarak made a huge save. When the match was over Fayoom could go home with a victory in their luggage, having controlled the game far better than Inshas throughout the match.
