Daqduqa
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The sun was shining, the grass was green and the audience cheered when Metwaly Fadel got the match started through his kick off. After a rather tough play, Poison's Nizar Samer got a free kick in the 4th minute. When Shehta Abu Al Dahab came up free with the goalie in the 11th minute, the Dikiran 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 Shehta Abu Al Dahab couldn't finish the play. Poison's Abdel Hameed Shawky played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Shehta Abu Al Dahab in the 13th minute of play. Shawky Kamouna's late challenge caught a Dikiran's player on the shin and left him crawling around in pain. The referee blew his whistle and produced the yellow card. Shawky Kamouna helped the player get up and apologised. The supporters of Dikiran booed when Poison was adjudged a doubtful freekick after 16 match minutes in a wonderful position. Shawky Kamouna didn't get a good kick on the ball. After having played for 18 minutes, Metwaly Hatem managed to get in a good position for a shot on goal. Dikiran's supporters crossed their fingers, but Metwaly Hatem was, after a quick turn that froze the defenders, out of balance and shot the ball just to the right of the goal. Abdel Hameed Shawky made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Metwaly Hatem in the 23rd minute of play. If Metwaly Hatem had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 24th minute. The ball went over the crossbar instead. After 25 played minutes Poison got a freekick which was hit by Nizar Samer. If Shehta Abu Al Dahab had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 27th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. Metwaly Hatem received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 29th minute. Abdel Hameed Shawky tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. Abdel Hameed Shawky made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Shehta Abu Al Dahab in the 31st minute of play. After a rather tough play, Poison's Nizar Samer got a free kick in the 31st minute. In the 33rd match minute, Poison was awarded a freekick, the ball was picked up by Kamal Haitham to maneuver through the defense. Shehta Abu Al Dahab struck a weak shot in the 35th minute. Abdel Hameed Shawky didn't even have to move as the ball rolled over the line well wide of the goal. A wasted opportunity for Dikiran. Shehta Abu Al Dahab sent away a hard shot on goal in the 37th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. When the match had gone on for 41 minutes, Shehta Abu Al Dahab put it in 0-1 from a short distance just to the right of Abdel Hameed Shawky. Disappointed in the 0-1 score, the home team went to the dressing room to adjust tactics for the second half.

The hometeam waved at the audience when it was time for Metwaly Hatem to strike the kick off in the second half. An unexpectedly hard shot by Metwaly Fadel in the 54th minute of play forced Dikiran's goalkeeper Shaker Fares to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. Shaker Fares took care of the ball after a well-directed shot from Anwar Sabry, even though the ball almost passed him on his left side. When Ayoub Saad fell near the penalty area in the 61st minute he thought he would be awarded a free kick. The referee ignored Dikiran's protests and gave Ayoub Saad a yellow card for diving instead. Ayoub Saad kicked well hit freekick during the 62nd minute of the match. Anwar Sabry received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 63rd minute. Shaker Fares tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. The audience was convinced that Anwar Sabry's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Shaker Fares was relentless in the 74th minute of the game. Ayoub Saad kicked well hit freekick during the 75th minute of the match. 81 minutes into the game, Anwar Sabry cracked a shot to the right of the goalkeeper, 1-2. Shaker Fares was not in position, and could only watch the ball fly in. After a defensive mix-up in Dikiran's zone, Metwaly Fadel stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Shaker Fares came out of the goal and Metwaly Fadel tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. In the 88th minute Anwar Sabry shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Shaker Fares saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 89th minute the ball was on its way in behind Dikiran's goalkeeper Shaker Fares, but with the help of a sacrificing defense, he could catch the ball at the crossbar. Metwaly Fadel recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 91st minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. After a rather tough play, Poison's Tarek Monzer got a free kick in the 93rd minute. With a little luck, Poison's Abdel Hameed Shawky got control of the ball when Shehta Abu Al Dahab tried to sneak it across the goal line. Dikiran's fans were overjoyed with their teams well-earned victory and stayed in the stadium long after the final whistle to celebrate the win.
