The match betwen Beni Mazar and Fayoum ended without goals, after a rather disappointing game. Both teams needed the points, but for different reasons: Beni Mazar to get out of the relegation zone, Fayoum to keep close to leaders Tersana. The draw does not help any of them too much, though Beni Mazar looked content at the end of the match.
The visitors had the upper hand most of the match, but were unable to score, although they had several chances, and twice they hit the post. First, Karim Rashad's shot went into the side post (6'), but that was the only clear opportunity for Fayoum in the first half. They maintained possession, but rarely created dangerous actions. On the other hand, Beni Mazar tried to reply on counterattacks, and nearly succeeded to break the deadlock in two occasions (36' and 40') towards the end of the first half.
Fayoum's manager made three changes at half time, hoping to improve the performance of his team. He was unfortunately wrong. Not only that Fayoum was unable to control the game as clearly as in the first half, but Beni Mazar had their biggest chance immediately after the start of the second half, when Fayoum goalkeeper Ahmed Moawad miraculously saved a shot from close range (48').
Then, the match was played mainly in the midfield, with very few chances for either team, each battling to control the game, which was very fragmented, with lost of interruptions due to heavy tackles. In the last 15 minutes, however, Fayoum recovered the lost ground and increased their pressure on the opposite goal. Ahmed Abdulaziz took a free kick from around 25 meters, hitting the post for the second time (78').
In the final minutes and in stoppage time, Fayoum tried hard to score the winning goal. After a corner taken by Islam Lamouna, Mohannad Zahran had a big opportunity, but he missed the target from just a few meters (90'+2').
