Trezeguet Gabr scores twice — 8.36
Two goals and a mark of 8.36 to go with them. Strikers are judged on afternoons like this one and remembered for far fewer of them than people imagine.

Ali Ashour hands in a written request

Masr El Makasa supporters have found a favourite in Trezeguet Gabr

The manager makes an example of Mahmoud Ezzat
