The wait goes on for Police Union
10 without a win now, and the ground has developed the special quiet of a crowd that expects the worst. One scrappy 1-0 would cure most of it; that is the maddening part.

Supporters organise against the Police Union board
A bad atmosphere can be waited out. A group of people meeting afterwards to decide what to do about it cannot, and everybody in the building knows which stage this is.

Shuaibu Garba beats them one at a time
Successful dribbles: 22. There was always a defender in front of him and there was never a defender in front of him for long.

A falling-out at Police Union
Mahmoud Alaa and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Words at Police Union training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Alexander Jakobsen is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

Seth Paintsil gets it from the manager
“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Ahmed Daouda rescues a point for Police Union
It needed Ahmed Daouda to find the net to bring anything home at all: 1‑1 against Smouha, and half the dressing room will call it a point won.

When it matters, Mas´ud Danjuma plays
It is never announced and it is entirely visible: the biggest afternoons of the season keep containing him. A press box works this out long before anybody at the club confirms a word of it.

The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Abdallah El Shenawy was not hiding it after 1‑1, and nobody in the Police Union dressing room was either.
In brief
- Squad Ahmed Daouda is off the mark for Police Union
- The dugout No place in the plan for Mahmoud Ezzat
- Squad Seth Paintsil makes the position his own
