Al Nasr Lel Taa'den - Fayoum 2-2 (1-1)
Hossam Hiradi 15' (penalty), 83' (penalty) - John Jamil 43' (penalty), Mohamed Jamal "Bibo" 51'.
Thursday, 27 October 2022, 3 pm local time (1 pm UTC), Al Nasr Lel Taa'den Stadium, Edfu, Aswan Governorate, Egypt, 3rd round of the Egyptian Second Division, Group A.
Newly-promoted Al Nasr Lel Taa'den had a perfect start of the season, with two wins in the first two matches, but their winning run ended in the third round, when they faced Fayoum SC on their home ground. Fayoum, on the other hand, had just one point after the first two matches, and were more than eager to add points to their record.
Actually, the visitors started better, and Mohamad Jamal tested the goalkeeper with a good shot (5'). However, Al Nasr Lel Taa'den scored first, after a penalty awarded quite easily by the referee after a possible contact in the box. Hossam Hiradi transformed the penalty: 1-0 (15').
The goal did not change much the manner in which the match was disputed, as Fayoum continued to have more ball possession and to initiate more attacks, while the hosts defended well and launched fastbreaks. Fayoum's pressure intensified towards the end of the first half, and they succeeded to equalize. A free kick from their own half was executed by a defender, who sent the ball towards Mohamed Jamal in the box. Al Nasr defenders were unable to intervene, while Mohamed Jamal headed the ball before the goalkeeper, who came out and kicked Mohamed Jamal instead of the ball (41'). The ball went a bit wide, but the referee awarded the penalty for Fayoum, which was transformed by John Jamil: 1-1 (43').
The second half started much the same way as the first, and Fayoum looked more dangerous. Mohamed Jamal had an individual action, which ended with a beautiful shot from outside the box, below the crossbar: 1-2 (51').

After taking the lead, Fayoum ceded the initiative to Al Nasr Lel Taa'den, probably not the best option, given that they had controlled the game so far. The host side accepted the new offensive role, and started attacking, as they had nothing to lose. Their pressure intensified towards the end of the game, and eventually bore fruit. After a cross from the left side, the ball reached the box near the far post, and something might have happened, because the referee awarded another penalty for Al Nasr Lel Taa'den. The same Hossam Hiradi transformed: 2-2 (83').
The final minutes were quite balanced, but neither of the two teams had the strength to score the winning goal.
Fayoum starting line-up: Ahmad Kandil - Mohammad Ashraf, El Sayed Kamal, Islam Ramadan, Mahmoud Arafat - Cissé, El Sayed Lotfy, Mahmoud Sami - John Jamil - Muhammad Tariq, Mohamed Jamal "Bibo". Subs in the second half: Salah El-Din Rifaat, Raymond Jamil, Afroto, Mahmoud Helmy, Hamad Hassan. Manager: Ahmed Abdel-Ghani.
In the next round, Fayoum SC will play at "home" against Telephonat Beni Suef, on Tuesday, 1 November 2022. The match will be played at Alassiouty Sport Resort Stadium, which is actually the home ground for both teams, as Fayoum Stadium is still unusable for Fayoum SC, while Telephonat moved out of Beni Suef. The two teams are suffering in the lower part of the table and one may anticipate a very tough game.
