Egypt international midfielder Ahmed Khairi was the hero for Ismaili again, scoring the winner for the second game in a row in a 1-0 victory over Ittihad. In Hurghada, Gouna were held to a 1-1 draw by MCDR, with ex-Zamalek striker Hussein Hamdi cancelling out a Karim Al-Daw opener for the hosts. In the third game on Saturday, ENPPI needed a 71st minute from Moemen Zakaria to draw 1-1 with Ghazl Mahalla after Mohamed Rezk had given the latter the lead.
