Performance of the week Surely Geddo after the striker put in another scintillating performance for Hull City, bagging his fifth goal in six games for the Tigers with a fine brace in the 5-2 Championship drubbing of Birmingham. Geddo's Hull teammate Ahmed Elmohamady also dazzled in the game, dishing out two assists that including a pin-point cross for Geddo to head in the final goal. Fathi, Treika miss out again After being confined to the bench in the Tigers' last two league games, Ahmed Fathi failed to make the squad against Birmingham this time to miss out on featuring for the third game on the spin. Adam El-Abd retained his status as a regular member in Brighton's rearguard, helping his side to a 4-1 thrashing of lowly Huddersfield to break into the top six. After coming back from a one-match suspension, Ahmed Hassan 'Koka' couldn't help Rio Ave avoid a 2-0 home loss to Estoril after featuring for the whole 90 minutes. Elsewhere, Hosni Abd-Rabou did not enjoy the best of weeks with Al-Nasr as the Saudi side waved goodbye to the Arab Club Cup quarter-finals with a 4-3 aggregate loss at the hands of Kuwait's Al-Arabi before being held to a 1-1 league draw at basement side Al-Wehda. In Switzerland, Mohamed Salah and Mohamed Al-Nenni helped Basel to a 2-1 Swiss league victory at rock bottom Servette, both coming on as 62nd minute subs. After taking the Emirate league by storm with two goals in as many games, midfield marvel Mohamed Abou-Treika was unlucky to be sidelined for Bani Yas' third league game in a row with a hamstring injury. In Belgium, Hany Ramzy's Lierse will be having a decisive game against Kortrijk this weekend before the league-strugglers travel to Club Brugge the following week. Tarek Yehia's Hajr were frustrated to another defeat at relegation rivals Al-Faisali, losing 3-0 to lie second from bottom, with the Egyptian manager reportedly set to quit the Saudi side. But Mohamed Salah's Al-Shoala claimed a much better result, holding third-placed Al-Shabab to a 1-1 draw.
