Hamadah
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) It was fairly windy and cold on the field when Yousif Nayef kicked off to start the match. After a defensive mix-up in Raswa's zone, Baher Mahgoub stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Samy Ameer came out of the goal and Baher Mahgoub tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Samy Ameer made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Baher Mahgoub in the 5th minute of play. The referee was alert and spotted a serious foul by Ezz Abdel Masoud during the 7th minute. The player immediately received a yellow card. Fares Islam took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 7th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Samy Ezzat. Hamadah's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Samy Ezzat took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Sobhy Ayman, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. In the 12thth minute of the game Sobhy Ayman who was perfectly placed tried to make a shot on goal, but Hamadah's Samy Ezzat was lucky and managed to grab hold of the ball. Mazhar Kamal in the 13thth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Samy Ameer, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Raswa's Samy Ameer played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Baher Mahgoub in the 19th minute of play. Samy Ameer showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Baher Mahgoub in the 20th minute of the match. Baher Mahgoub was really disappointed when he shot the ball just outside the right post instead of scoring a goal in the 21st minute. Hamadah's manager could be seen on the sidelines shaking his head and muttering to himself as his team had just wasted another chance. With his leg Samy Ameer managed to avoid a goal in the 24thth minute, when Hamadah's Mazhar Kamal fired away a shot with a lot of spin towards his right hand side. Yousif Nayef received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 26th minute. Samy Ezzat tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. If Baher Mahgoub had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 31st minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. The long shot by Hosny Kamal in the 38th minute really tested Samy Ameer's skills. The ball was on its way into the goal to the left of him when he managed to stretch himself and save the shot and avoid a goal. An unexpected shot in the 42nd minute by Mazhar Kamal got the crowd on their feet, but to their dismay it went out on the left side. 45 minutes into the game, Samir Hassan was given a yellow card after he appeared to trip an opposing player. Raswa's manager was livid on the sidelines, but the referee was unmoved and gave Hamadah the free kick. After 45 played minutes Raswa got a freekick which was hit by Samir Hassan. After the first half the score was level. The break gave the players a chance to catch their breath, whilst the managers went over the tactics with them again.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Baher Mahgoub to strike the kick off in the second half. Mazhar Kamal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 55th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Samy Ameer having to interfere. In the 62nd match minute, Hamadah was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Ezz Abdel Masoud to maneuver through the defense. Yousif Nayef struck a weak shot in the 64th minute.

Sobhy Ayman who was well placed in front of the goal fired away a dangerous shot that in the 68thth minute tested the skills of Samy Ezzat when he managed to save the team from getting behind. 1-0 became the score in the 73rd minute when Baher Mahgoub elegantly shot the ball into goal just under the crossbar. Mazhar Kamal fired away a screaming shot towards the goal in the 77th minute, but the shot went just over the crossbar without Samy Ameer having to interfere.
