Fayoum SC - La Viena FC 1-2 (1-2)
Mahmoud Sami 33' - Mohamed Kito 40', Ayman Mocka 43'.
Friday, 30 December 2022, 2:30 pm local time (12:30 pm UTC), Alassiouty Sport Resort, Fayoum, Egypt, the 12th round of the Egyptian Second Division, Group A.
Fayoum SC were unable to build upon their win away at KIMA Aswan and lost to La Viena FC, a team looking up for promotion to the Egyptian Premier League. Fayoum were officially "hosts", but Alassiouty Sport Resort is the home ground for both teams, and even more, La Viena is the team of the ground owner, so they are actually more at home than Fayoum, whose real home ground, Fayoum Stadium, has been closed since 2017.
La Viena started the match in a very offensive manner, with a series of corner kicks, which led to their first chances, the ball hitting the side posts twice (2' and 13'). Fayoum goalkeeper, Mohamad Kandil, impressively saved a shot from inside the box to keep a clean sheet (29').
Fayoum, which seldom crossed the half line of the field, took unexpectedly the lead, after a long ball, which reached Mohamad Jamal "Bebo". He succeeded to protect the ball, and launched El Sayed Lotfy on the right, whose cross found Mahmoud Sami near the far post. Mahmoud Sami had the time to control the ball and to shoot precisely, with a slight help of a deflection: 1-0 (33').
The match was decided in the final minutes of the first half, when La Viena turned the result in their favour. First, a cross from the left side reached a dangerous area in the box, right in front of the goal, and Mohamed Kito was there to push the ball in: 1-1 (40'). Almost immediately after, Ayman Mocka executed tremendously a free kick from the right side, finding the far upper corner of the goal when everybody expected a cross: 2-1 (43').

Fayoum started the second half very strongly, while La Viena took a defensive stance. The Fayoum attacks did have a result, as the referee gave a penalty to Fayoum for a handball inside the box (55'). La Viena players and staff protested in vain, the decision stayed. However, Mohamed Jamal "Bebo" did not score, his powerful shot hitting the crossbar (57'). This is not the first penalty missed by Fayoum SC this season.
The match was very fragmented in the second half, with few other actions that deserve to be mentioned. On breaks, La Viena reached the opposite box dangerously on several occasions, but their shots were blocked by Mohamad Kandil. Instead of focusing on scoring and solving the match defintively, La Viena players preferred time wasting. Fayoum players did everything in their power to equalize, but had few real chances, because their opponents defended well.
Starting line-ups:
Fayoum: Mohamad Kandil - Islam Lamouna, Hamad Hassan, Islam Ramadan, Ahmad Gamal - El Sayed Lotfy, Ahmad Koshary, Mahmoud Sami, Mahmoud Arafat - Salah Rifaat, Mohamed Jamal "Bebo". Manager: Khaled Eino.
La Viena: Kameni - Amr Yahya, Mahmoud Halawani, Muhamad Gebs, Alaa Marcelo - Hisham Neymar, Qasem Rabie, Ahmed Scholes, Ayman Mocka - Marawan Maro, Mohamed Kito. Manager: George Galidi.
