Barakat Ibrahim leaves as Fayoum loses 3-0 away to leaders Beni Suef

On Thursday, 29 November, in the 11th round of the Egyptian Second Division, Group A, Fayoum had a very difficult game away at surprising top team of the moment, Beni Suef. The hosts won 3-0 (1-0 at half time), by means of the goals scored by Mohamed Sadiq, Karim Ashraf and Moataz Mahrous.

There were however some incidents, mainly caused by Barakat Ibrahim, the head coach of the visitors. Under high pressure to get better results, from the very beginning of the match he started insulting Tarek Al Sayed, former head coach of Al Minya, who was in the stands, accusing him that he wants to become head coach of Fayoum. Barakat Ibrahim also accused the management of Fayoum SC for negotiating with Tarek Al Sayed without mentioning anything to him. In the 10th minute of the game, when it was still 0-0, Barakat Ibrahim left the bench and the stadium, leaving the Fayoum players without any technical help during the rest of the game. Barakat Ibrahim was sent off twice by the referees as head coach of Fayoum in the past few games because of his attitude.

Fayoum SC management denied having any negotiations with Tarek Al Sayed or anyone else, but it is hard to imagine that Barakat Ibrahim would return as head coach for the next game of Fayoum, next Thursday, on the 4th of December, at home against Sohag.

Starting line-ups:

Beni Suef: Mustafa Abdel Sattar, Mustafa Safti, Mohamed Abdel Hafiz, Sharif Havez, Abdel Wahid Abdelaziz, Hussam Issa, Moataz Mahrous, Ahmed Shehata, Karim Ashraf, Mohamed Sadiq, Sayed Shaaban.

Fayoum: Ahmed Mahmoud, Mahmoud Al Husseini, Saber Ashraf, Mahmoud Abou Bakr, Mohammed Eid, Mohamed Mahmoud, Omar Hosni, Taher Rabea, Mahmoud Ahmed, Shaab Shaaban, Ahmad Abd Al-Ati.

Fayoum continues to be in the relegation zone on the 11th position after 11 rounds.

Real Garcilaso finished fourth and will play in the next year Copa Libertadores

The matches in the last round of the Peruvian Clausura tournament were played this week-end, most of them on Sunday, 25 November. The results decided the Clausura champions, the final aggregate table and the last unknown details before the play-offs, which will decide the 2018 Peruvian champions.

Real Garcilaso played away at Ayacucho and managed a 1-1 draw. They took the lead in the 14th minute by Santillan but the home side equalized in the 27th minute by means of Ever Chavez. No goals were scored in the second half.

Real Garcilaso: Ortiz - Arismendi, Lojas, Kontogiannis, Cossio - Alvarez, Aucca (46 Archimbaud) - Vidales (70 Landauri), Ramua, Santillan - Rengifo (84 A. Perez). Head coach: Victor Reyes.

Given that Deportivo Municipal lost 2-0 away at Sport Huancayo, Real Garcilaso were able to maintain their fourth position in the aggregate table and therefore qualified for the first stage of the 2019 Copa Libertadores. This was the last official match for Real Garcilaso in 2018, as they did not succeed to qualify for the play-offs.

FBC Melgar were crowned as Clausura champions, because Alianza Lima lost 3-2 to Binacional. Anyway, both FBC Melgar and Alianza Lima are qualified to the play-off semifinals, which will be played in the next two weeks.

Deportivo Municipal, Sport Huancayo, Universidad Tecnica de Cajamarca and Binacional are qualified for the 2019 Copa Sudamericana. Binacional defended their eighth place in the aggregate table by winning 3-2 as mentioned.
