Performance of the week Having only made cameo appearances in three previous games, Mahmoud 'Kahraba' managed to open his Luzern account in style, helping his club grab a 2-0 Swiss league victory at Zurich on his full debut. Salah scores, couldn't get name on score sheet! In-form star Mohamed Salah continued his impressive displays for Basel, hitting a goal in the 2-1 Swiss league win at Lausanne, even so the goal was registered as an own-goal against the keeper. Five days earlier, Salah featured for the whole UEFA Champions League game against Schalke, but could not help the Swiss champs avoid a 1-0 home defeat to the Bundesliga side. Mohamed Elneny played the full game against Lausanne after recuperating from a nagging shoulder injury, having made his comeback as a sub in the previous league draw with Sion. In England, Ahmed Elmohamady retained his regular status for Hull City, playing as a right wing for the second game running but was substituted with five minutes left in the 0-0 league draw with Aston Villa. Even though Elmo's Egypt teammate Geddo was expected to make the squad, the newly-signed forward has yet to make his English Premier League debut. In the Championship, center half Adam El-Abd – who was omitted from Egypt's roster for the Ghana qualifier – still remained out of favor for Brighton who slumped to a 3-1 home defeat to Nottingham Forest. In Portugal, Ahmed Hassan 'Koka' was replaced with six minutes remaining in the 1-0 Liga Sagres win at Academica. Young defender Ali Ghazal featured for 90 minutes for the fourth match on the trot, taking part in Nacional's 3-0 home victory over Sporting Braga. Hossam Ghaly and Ahmed Samir Farag helped Lierse secure a 2-1 home win over Mons, featuring for the whole Belgian league game.
