Fayoum SC obtained the fourth win this season, 1-0 over Al Nasr Lel Taa'den, on Thursday afternoon, the 28th of February, in the 20th round of the Egyptian Second Division, Group A. These 3 points are very important for head coach Magdy Tolba and his players, to keep the hopes alive in the fight against relegation.
The visitors had a long winless run, and this was the tenth consecutive game without a win, although Al Nasr Lel Taa'den were considered as one of the strongest teams in the group at the beginning of the season, even a candidate for promotion to the Premier League, where they played two years ago.
The match was played at Al Assiouty Sports Complex, where Fayoum SC have to play their home matches while there are works in progress at Fayoum Stadium. Fayoum were in control of the game and missed many opportunities.
Karim Shafei scored the only goal of the game in the 71st minute for Fayoum, which have equaled their opponents Al Nasr Lel Taa'den, as both teams have now 21 points and are separated by goal difference only.
The third team with 21 points is El Tahrir Aswan, which succeeded the biggest surprise of the round, by winning 2-0 over leaders Aswan. This was the first game which Aswan lost this season. As second-placed Beni Suef won 1-0 at Al Walideya, the difference between Aswan and Beni Suef decreased to 8 points, but is still difficult to overcome in the six remaining games of the season.
The situation is more complicated in the relegation area, where seven teams (including Fayoum) fight to avoid relegation.
