Sunday, the 23rd of February 2020, 15:00 local time (13:00 UTC), Shaban Qena Stadium, Qena, Egypt, the 16th round of the Egyptian Second Division, Group A.
Surprises continue in the Egyptian Second Division, as Shaban Qena, big favorites, were unable to win at home against Fayoum SC. The two teams have different objectives: Shaban Qena are in the front group of the table and theoretically fight for promotion, while Fayoum are not far from the bottom and they are still trying to avoid relegation. The last results of both teams indicated that Shaban Qena are in excellent form, while Fayoum were unable to win a single match in 2020.

However, in the field, the home side, led by head coach Kamal Al Zain, did not find a way to penetrate the Fayoum defence, which functioned perfectly. The visitors tried even to win the match on the counterattack, but their efforts were fruitless.

In the other matches of the round, Aluminium won 1-0 over National Bank while Beni Suef won 4-0 over Asyut Petroleum. Therefore, Beni Suef are new leaders, while National Bank and Aluminium are 2 points behind, and Shaban Qena 4 points behind.
In the next round, Fayoum SC needs to win at home against Sohag, if they still want to preserve their slim chances to avoid relegation. Shaban Qena will have a tough match away at Telephonat Beni Suef.
