Bigam
Spectators: 5000 (Terracing: 4000, Seating: 1000, VIP seats: 0) Dark clouds were building up when the players entered the field. None of the them looked very eager to play. Akram El-Saeed started the match with the kick off. 3 minutes into the match, Bigam's goal looked a bit too open when Faisal Badr came free, but Gaser Mido reached the ball before it rolled over the goal line. Mowafak Fahmy showed brilliant goalkeeper skills when he caught the ball after a hard shot from Hanafy Abdel Masoud in the 7th minute of the match. The Naqnaq fans' excitement grew in the 16th match minute when Naqnaq's Faisal Badr looked to have a clear shot with the ball near the goal. The shot wasn't hard, but the ball still rolled over the goal line to make it 1-1 before the goalkeeper had a chance to intervene. With an all-out effort, Bigam's Mowafak Fahmy threw himself towards the right post 19 minutes into the match and grabbed hold of the ball from Akram El-Saeed, which otherwise would have been placed in the net. After a defensive mix-up in Naqnaq's zone, Hanafy Abdel Masoud stole the ball and had only the goalie to beat. Mowafak Fahmy came out of the goal and Hanafy Abdel Masoud tried to chip the ball over his head. To his dismay, the ball went over the crossbar and out of play. Batran Nayef could have scored with his fast shot on goal in the 26th minute of the match, but Mowafak Fahmy made a huge save. After 31 played minutes Naqnaq got a freekick which was hit by Abdou Abdel Masoud. The audience thought a goal was coming when Hanafy Abdel Masoud got free with Mowafak Fahmy in the 32nd minute, but the goalkeeper managed to catch the ball with a huge effort. Akram El-Saeed sent away a hard shot on goal in the 35th minute, but the ball hit the crossbar and went out. A very good chance for a goal. In the 43rd minute, Akram El-Saeed fired away a shot on goal. He put a little to much spin on the ball and sent it just wide of the right post. Baher Gomaa sent away a hard shot on goal in the 45th minute, but the ball went just over the crossbar and out. A very good chance. In the 48th minute, Akram El-Saeed fired away a killer shot towards the goal that, to the delight of Mowafak Fahmy, passed just outside the right post.

Both teams looked relatively alert before the second half when the referee blew his whistle to tell Baher Gomaa to make the kick off. After 55 minutes of play, Bigam's Akram El-Saeed made it 2-1 when he simply outclassed the defender marking him and hit a curling shot into the right side of the net. Mowafak Fahmy was left in no man's land by his defense there! Akram El-Saeed recieved an excellent pass in front of the goal in the 58th minute. Unfortunately, he received the ball on his off foot and could only manage a weak shot that went over the goal. Mowafak Fahmy didn't have a chance when a screaming shot from Batran Nayef went, in the 61st minute, to the upper right corner, 3-1 was the resulting score. Hanafy Abdel Masoud's shot was meant for the net just under the crossbar, but Mowafak Fahmy read the situation well and was quickly in position to make a wonderful save in the 64th minute of play. Mowafak Fahmy showed his good apprehension of the play when he made a fantastic save on a shot from Hanafy Abdel Masoud, who was totally free with the ball in the 66th minute. If Hanafy Abdel Masoud had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 68th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. In the 72nd minute Hanafy Abdel Masoud shot on, it seemed, an open goal, but Mowafak Fahmy saw the ball coming and threw himself on it before it passed the goal line. The audience was convinced that Akram El-Saeed's extremely hard shot when he got free in front of the goal was going in, but Mowafak Fahmy was relentless in the 74th minute of the game. If Akram El-Saeed had kept his shot down it would have been a goal in the 80th minute. The ball went over the crossbar and out instead. After 89 minutes, Akram El-Saeed made it 5-1 with a short kick to the right side. Naqnaq's Mowafak Fahmy tried to save the shot but he was too slow in reacting to the shot. When Hanafy Abdel Masoud came up free with the goalie in the 93rd minute, the Bigam 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 Hanafy Abdel Masoud couldn't finish the play. It was beautiful to see Bigam's Taimour Sameeh in action when he in the 98th minute dribbled his way through a couple of opponents and the fired away a shot from almost standing still. First the ball seemed to get in, but turned out to be on the outside of the net. A great chance! There were very few away supporters still in the ground by the end of the match. Most of them had left early, disgusted by the way their team had been torn apart. Bigam fully deserved thier win.
