Fayoum SC are out of the Egypt Cup, losing at penalties to Telephonat Beni Suef

Telephonat Beni Suef - Fayoum SC 0-0 (4-2 at penalties)

Thursday, 25 November 2021, 2 pm local time (12 noon UTC), Alassiouty Sports Resort, Fayoum, Egypt, the 3rd preliminary round of the Egypt Cup.

Fayoum SC won the previous match in the Egypt Cup at penalties, away at Beni Suef, but this time the penalties worked against them. The match was played at Alassiouty Sports Resort, the temporary home ground for both teams, but Telephonat Beni Suef were officially the hosts of this game, so Fayoum may also complain about the fact that all their matches in the Egypt Cup were away (even if in this particular case, there would have been no difference).

The match was highly disputed, but both teams had issues in getting their actions finalized, and the game ended goalless, 0-0.

Penalties were therefore needed to establish the team to advance to the next round of the Egypt Cup (the first round proper). The first two players for each team scored their penalties, so it was 2-2, but the next two Fayoum players missed their penalties, while the two Telephonat players scored, and the penalty shoot-out ended 4-2 for Telephonat Beni Suef, which advanced to the first round proper of the Egypt Cup, where they will most likely face a team from the Egyptian Premier League.

Starting line-ups:

Telephonat: Ahmed Moawad - Islam Mustafa, Ahmed Nasser, Ahmed Al-Zayni, Abdel-Rahman Youssef, Ibrahim Kabil, Hussam Hassan, Hassan Mohamed, Mohamed Osha, Abdullah Ashour, Ayman Nada. Manager: Karam Jaber.

Fayoum: Islam Emad Risha - Islam Lamouna, Hamada Mohamed, Mahmoud Kamal "Schmeichel", Mohamed Adel, Sayed Kanaria, El-Sayed Lotfy, Dibmoua El-Afriky, Ahmed Saleh, Abdel-Moaty Mohamed, Ahmed Mohamed. Manager: Sayed Sobhi.

Referee: Hossam Azab Hajjaj.

This is the first "defeat" for Fayoum SC under the management of Sayed Sobhi (although officially still a draw). On the 4th of December, in the next league round, Fayoum will face El Badari at home, while Telephonat will play away at Dayrout.
