While sitting on the bench are: Mahmoud Jensh, Muhammad Abdul Salam, Muhammad Hassan, Muhammad Onajem, Omar Al-Saeed, Kasungu and Mustafa Fathi.

The start of the match came quietly from both teams as both wanted to “feel the ball” and that Raja was the first to control the midfield area and tried to visit Abu Jebel’s net, but Al-Abyad’s defense he stood his ground and responded to the divergent attempts of the landlord.

On the other hand, Zamalek relied on organizing the game well in defense and forms attacks sporadically, and Ben Sharqi and Zizou resorted to a shooting weapon from outside the goal area.

Raja’s performance declined in exchange for Zamalek’s control over the course of the match. This control resulted in Zamalekawi’s goal through Ashraf bin Sharqi in the 19th minute after Ahmed Sayed Zizou made a wonderful cross from the right. Ashraf bin Sharqi got up and hit him with his head in Raja’s goalkeeper’s net announcing that the goal was scored. The first for Zamalek.

After the goal, the performance of the two teams was clearly active, although the real danger was still far from Zamalek’s goal.
