Smouha SC
Smouha put in a spirited display but ultimately lacked the cutting edge in the final third. Their 4-1-4-1 setup provided defensive solidity and moments of promise on the counter, yet their inability to test the goalkeeper—registering just one shot on target—proved costly. The midfield worked hard to disrupt Zamalek’s rhythm, but the hosts struggled to maintain possession and create clear-cut chances. Despite five corners and a late surge, Smouha could not find the breakthrough, and their attacking efforts fizzled out against a well-organized Zamalek backline.
Key Players
Strengths
Weaknesses
Zamalek SC
Zamalek delivered a professional away performance, controlling 55% of the ball and creating the game’s best opportunities. Their 4-2-3-1 formation allowed them to dominate midfield exchanges and transition quickly into attack. With three shots on target from seven attempts, Zamalek were more efficient in front of goal, and their breakthrough in the 62nd minute was a deserved reward for their persistence. The visitors managed the game well after taking the lead, absorbing Smouha’s pressure and maintaining composure to close out the win. Their defensive unit was particularly impressive in the closing stages.

Tactical Analysis
Smouha lined up in a 4-1-4-1 formation, focusing on defensive stability and looking to hit Zamalek on the break. Their single holding midfielder, A. El Sisi, played a pivotal role in screening the back four, while the wide midfielders tucked in to congest the central areas. However, this approach limited their attacking options, often leaving H. Ashraf isolated up front. Zamalek’s 4-2-3-1 system provided greater control in midfield, with A. El Said and M. Shehata dictating play and linking up effectively with the attacking trio behind N. Mansy. The visitors used their full-backs to provide width, stretching Smouha’s defensive lines and creating space for the decisive goal. After taking the lead, Zamalek dropped deeper, switching to a more compact shape to see out the result.
Turning Point
N. Mansy’s goal in the 62nd minute broke the deadlock and shifted momentum decisively in Zamalek’s favor.
