Performance of the week Egypt star Mohamed Salah scored his fourth league goal for Basel as the Swiss champions cruised to a 4-0 league victory over Luzern. Koka's consolation Salah's compatriot Mohamed Al-Nenni also took part in the game, coming on as a 73rd minute substitute. Even though it wasn't the best of nights for his team, Ahmed Hassan 'Koka' grabbed Rio Ave's sole goal in the 6-1 Portuguese league drubbing at giants Benfica but couldn't help his team avoid another 4-0 thrashing by Porto in the league cup. Egypt u-20 defender Ali Ghazal, who joined Portuguese outfit Nacional from Wadi Degla in the winter break, played full 90 minutes for the second game running in the 2-1 league win over Guimarães. Despite returning to Hull City's starting line-up after being benched in last weekend's 1-0 Championship victory over Huddersfield, Geddo failed to help his side avoid a narrow home defeat to close rivals Watford. Ahmed Elmohamady retained his status as a starter for the Tigers as Ahmed Fathi, who last featured against Crystal Place early in March, was confined to the bench throughout the whole game. Center-half Adam El-Abd was uncommonly benched in the goalless stalemate with Charlton following a two-game suspension. In Saudi Arabia, Hosni Abd-Rabou played for just 12 minutes in Al-Nasr's 0-0 league draw at Najran, coming on as a second-half sub as the Egyptian's team drew for the third game on the trot. Egypt veteran Mohamed Abou-Treika made his comeback for Bani Yas after more than a month out with a hamstring injury in the 2-1 loss at Al-Nasr, taking part in the full game. Managers Tarek Yehia's Hajr extended their losing streak to four games after slumping to a 2-1 defeat to Al-Fath as the Egyptian manager's team lie second from bottom on 15 points. Unlike Yehia, Mohamed Salah managed to end Al-Shoalah's five-game winless streak by beating Ittifaq 2-0 away from home.
