Sekou Sonko is on his way
The clubs have agreed terms, and what remains is formality: a medical, a photograph, a signature. Nobody at Petrojet is pretending he will be back in the shirt.

Moaz Ateya is a better footballer than he was
Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 23 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Petrojet promote Bassem Ghaly from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Bassem Ghaly has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.
