League Play-Off

Mi`awwad
Spectators: 35 (Terracing: 27, Seating: 8, VIP seats: 0) The field was rather wet after several days of rain when Ameer Ibrahim took the kick off in the first half of the match. T- M€rseYsid€ -T's Monzer Deyab played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Sabry Ahmed in the 6th minute of play. 10 minutes into the match, Ameer Ibrahim had an open shot that he just couldn't miss and scored to the right of Kamel Hossam. Mi`awwad's manager could be seen yelling to the referee that Ameer Ibrahim was offside, but the referee ignored the protest. 0-1. Thanks to some nice moves Sabry Ahmed could shoot a difficult shot in the 15th minute, which Monzer Deyab however easily saved by the left post. In the 20th minute Medhat Fouad shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Monzer Deyab saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. In the 24th minute, Mostafa Hanafy hit a crossing free kick to the open man running down the field. In the 25th minute, Sabry Ahmed 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. Abbas Nader took a chance and fired a shot far from the goal in the 34th minute, but it turned out to be a dangerous situation for Kamel Hossam. Mi`awwad's goalkeeper really had to stretch himself to stop the ball from crossing the goal line. Sabry Ahmed sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. 45 minutes into the match, T- M€rseYsid€ -T's goal looked a bit too open when Medhat Fouad came free, but Monzer Deyab reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. If Sabry Ahmed had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 46th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. When the referee blew for the end of the half the home team players were clearly happier, as they went in to the break leading 2-1.

When the second half was about to start, both teams quickly lined up and Medhat Fouad made a kick off. In the 56th minute Ameer Ibrahim shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Kamel Hossam saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. T- M€rseYsid€ -T's Monzer Deyab played magnificently when he managed to stop the ball from hitting the goal, after a sharp shot by Sabry Ahmed in the 60th minute of play. When Ameer Ibrahim came up free with the goalie in the 62nd minute, the T- M€rseYsid€ -T 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 Ameer Ibrahim couldn't finish the play. Nagy Saeed in the 63rdth minute had a little luck and got a chance for a shot in front of the goal. Without hesitation aimed to the right of Kamel Hossam, who managed to lunge to the right direction and made a save. Monzer Deyab made a wonderful reflex save on a shot from Medhat Fouad in the 74th minute of play. Nagy Saeed received a nice pass in the box and took a hard shot in the 81st minute. Kamel Hossam tensed up and prepared to dive, but the shot went over the goal with him having to interfere. An unexpectedly hard shot by Ameer Ibrahim in the 83rd minute of play forced Mi`awwad's goalkeeper Kamel Hossam to throw himself to the left, to be able to save the ball. 86 minutes into the match, Sabry Ahmed notched a goal, 3-2, to the right of T- M€rseYsid€ -T's Monzer Deyab. Monzer Deyab was clearly disgusted with the effort of the defense and let the defenders know about it. For all the effort they put into the match, the T- M€rseYsid€ -T players left disappointed. They had fought hard, but couldn't break down the home team's defense. The match ended in a win for Mi`awwad.
