Match

No mercy from Masr El Makasa

Ittihad will want this one forgotten quickly: 3‑0, every duel lost, and a long ride home. Masr El Makasa were ruthless in the way good sides are ruthless.

Player ratings

What a way to start for Bassem Gabr — 7.64

1 on the scoresheet on his first appearance and a mark of 7.64 beside it. Most debuts are got through; this one was enjoyed, by him and by everybody watching it.

Player ratings

Shikabala Marwan scores twice — 8.22

Two goals and a mark of 8.22 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Squad

A one-man rearguard from Omar Mohsen

There were 7 saves in it, and at least three that had no business being saves at all. The ten outfield players owe him a drink and they know it.

Market

Business is business: Fathy Hegazi goes

Petrojet paid $2.2M and Masr El Makasa took it, which is the whole story in one sentence. The longer version involves a wage budget and will be told all season.

Boardroom

Masr El Makasa go back to the board over Tolba Mohamed

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $22.8K — a club that wants Tolba Mohamed enough to be asked twice.

Market

Karim El Nenny moves on

El Masry pay $930.0K, and the deal is done. The number reads well on a balance sheet; whether it reads well on the pitch is next season's question.

Squad

A falling-out at Masr El Makasa

Shikabala Marwan and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.

Transfer targets

Masr El Makasa bid $20.0K for Tolba Mohamed

The offer went to Aswan this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

In brief
