Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
National Bank of Egypt
National Bank of Egypt dominated possession (57%) and produced more shots (10 total, 4 on target), but lacked the cutting edge to break down El Geish’s disciplined defence. Their 4-2-3-1 formation allowed them to control midfield, but they struggled to turn territorial advantage into clear chances. Despite three corners and a late push for an equalizer, the visitors were repeatedly thwarted by the home side’s defensive resilience and the assured goalkeeping of Omar Radwan. A lack of incisiveness in the final third ultimately cost them at least a point.

Tactical Analysis
El Geish set up in a traditional 4-4-2, focusing on compactness and defensive discipline. The midfield four worked hard to close down space, while the front two looked to exploit any transition opportunities. Their lack of corners and lower possession underline a strategy centered on containment and efficiency rather than expansive play. National Bank of Egypt’s 4-2-3-1 formation gave them numerical superiority in midfield, allowing them to dictate the tempo and recycle possession. However, their build-up play often stalled in the final third, as El Geish’s two banks of four proved difficult to break down. The visitors’ attacking substitutions in the second half injected some urgency, but the hosts’ structure remained intact.
Turning Point
Ismail Ouro-Agoro’s 41st-minute goal shifted the momentum, allowing El Geish to play on their terms and focus on defending the lead.
Man of the Match
Omar Radwan
Produced a commanding performance in goal, making key saves to preserve the clean sheet and secure the win.
