In a pulsating encounter at Al Salam Stadium, National Bank of Egypt and Al Ittihad played out a dramatic 2-2 draw, with both sides trading blows in a match defined by attacking intent and a flurry of cards.

Al Ittihad stunned the home crowd with a 27th-minute opener, only for National Bank of Egypt to respond six minutes later. The visitors regained their lead just before halftime, but the hosts' relentless pressure paid off with a second-half equalizer.

Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
Al Ittihad
Al Ittihad executed their game plan with discipline, absorbing pressure and striking effectively on the counter. Their 2 goals from just 7 shots highlighted their efficiency in front of goal, but a lack of sustained possession (36%) and mounting disciplinary issues—culminating in four yellow cards and a red—undermined their efforts. Down to ten men late on, they showed grit to hold on for a point, but ultimately could not withstand the hosts' relentless pressure.

Tactical Analysis
Both teams set up with a focus on midfield control, but National Bank of Egypt's superior technical quality allowed them to dictate possession and probe for openings. Their use of width and overlapping full-backs created numerous chances, as evidenced by 7 corners and 20 shots. Al Ittihad, meanwhile, sat deep and looked to spring forward quickly through John Okoye Ebuka and Fady Farid, making the most of turnovers. The visitors' compact defensive shape frustrated the hosts for long spells, but their aggressive tackling led to mounting cards and ultimately a red. Substitutions in the second half saw National Bank of Egypt push more men forward, while Al Ittihad retreated even deeper after going down to ten men, focusing solely on protecting their point.
Turning Point
The red card to Al Ittihad in the 70th minute shifted momentum decisively, allowing National Bank of Egypt to press relentlessly for a winner, though they ultimately could not break through.
Man of the Match
Mostafa Shalaby
Instrumental in midfield, scored the crucial equalizer and drove the hosts' attacking play with creativity and energy.
