Aluminium - Fayoum 1-0 in the 14th round of the Egyptian Second Division, Group A

Despite changing the head coach, Fayoum SC continues its terrible series of results, which can only lead them closer to the already visible relegation to the Third Division. On Thursday, 27 December, Fayoum played away at Aluminium Nag Hammâdi, and lost again, 1-0, due to a goal by Cyril Maher in the 68th minute.

The hosts played better overall and deserved the victory, although the visitors pressured for an equalizer in the final minutes of the game.
New head coach Magdy Tolba needs to make some changes to the team in the next 3 weeks. There is also a transfer window during this break which should be used wisely, if the club management still hopes to save the team from relegation, which would truly be a miracle, given that there are only 12 rounds to be played in 2019 and almost as many points to get to the salvation line. Fayoum is now 12th (out of 14 teams) and lost four games in a row, and has a run of six winless games.
In the upper part of the table, Aswan won 1-0 away at Al Minya, a result which pretty much eliminates Al Minya from the fight for promotion. Aswan would play the next round a possibly decisive game against the remaining opponents, Beni Suef.
