Mohamed Hathout stands above it all
Some games turn on a moment; this one turned on a man. 7.91 on the card, and the ENPPI support went home talking about one name.

The view from the dugout
“We controlled it. There were spells I did not like and we will look at them, but the group showed me something.” Mostafa Hamdi, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.

Reda El Sayed 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.
In brief
