El Hany Soliman stands alone
9 saves, and a scoreline the ten men in front of him had no right to. Goalkeepers only get noticed on the bad days; this was one of the other ones.

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

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.” Ashraf El Wensh, on a 1‑0 win that he was already picking apart on the walk to the press room.
