A debut Mostafa Aref will not forget — 7.29
There is exactly one of these per career and it does not usually go like this. 1 on the scoresheet, 7.29 beside the name, and a crowd that had never seen him before chanting it by the end.

The cruellest goal, and it is Mohanad Bakri's
A touch he did not want, a bounce he could not have read, and his name in the wrong column. There is no consoling a man after one of these, and ENPPI will not try tonight.
Match12 Sep 2026
ENPPI and Wadi Degla take a point apiece
It finished 1‑1, and it somehow always looked like it would. One of those afternoons where the table moves less than the tempers.
