Egyptian Premier League highlights (Round 2)
Published in FilGoal on 21 - 08 - 2010

Enjoy FilGoal.com's selections for the Egyptian Premier League second round highlights.
Best Player (Ahmed Samir Farag):
Winger Ahmed Samir Farag gave Ismaili much-needed creativity to help them to a hard-fought 2-1 victory over ENPPI.
He scored twice as Ismaili battled with ten men to secure their second consecutive win, having beat Petrojet 1-0 in the league opener.
Farag, who wrecked havoc down the left flank, needed 53 seconds to open the scoring with a low angled free-kick.
ENPPI equalized just before the break but Farag struck again with 13 minutes remaining after a superb individual effort to give Ismaili all three points.
He skipped past ENPPI midfielder Islam Awad before hitting a low left-footed shot that left the keeper with no chance.
Best Goal (Shikabala V Petrojet):
Shikabala wrapped up Zamalek's easy 2-0 victory over a stuttering Petrojet side in superb fashion.
The talented winger, who is targeted by Belgian giants Anderlecht, scored deep into injury time to put the result beyond doubt.
He rounded off a counter attack when he cunningly dribbled past a couple of challengers before hitting the top corner of the net with a precise drive.
Best Match (Arab Contractors 2-3 Military Production):
A thrilling affair saw Contractors surrender an early two-goal lead to lose their second successive game.
The Mountain Wolves, who were playing their first game under new coach Hamza Al-Gamal, looked on course to claim a comprehensive win after scoring twice in the first three minutes.
In a frenetic first-half, Mohamed Adel put Contractors in front with a delightful shot and Nigerian striker Musa Kabiru doubled their advantage after making the most of a defensive blunder.
Production playmaker Momen Zakaria narrowed the gap on 12 minutes with a first-time shot from inside the area and defender Hazem Fathi brought them level two minutes later with a simple tap in.
Lively left-back Ahmed Abou-Mosallam, who joined Production in the close season, sealed their win with a 36th-minute strike for his second goal in as many games.
Best Team (Zamalek):
Zamalek produced a fine display to see off Petrojet, a team who proved to be a stubborn opponent for the Cairo giants on several occasions during the past few weeks.
Striker Amr Zaki, who is gradually regaining his form after a barren spell, opened the scoring on the quarter-hour mark after heading home a corner.
Shikabala capped the team's efforts with a second goal in stoppage time as Zamalek atoned for their 2-2 draw with Harras Hodoud in the league opener.
Best Coach (Mark Wotte):
Ismaili coach Mark Wotte successfully dealt with the red card Abdullah Shahat picked up in the first half to lead his side to a precious 2-1 home win over ENPPI.
Left-back Shahat was sent off nine minutes before the break for a second bookable offense but the Dervishes still managed to win despite their numerical disadvantage.
Dutchman Wotte introduced defender Ahmed Hegazi instead of central midfielder Amr Al-Sulaya and replaced striker Ahmed Ali with Mohsen Abou-Greisha to close down spaces at the back and inject zeal upfront.
His substitutions paid dividends as Ahmed Samir Farag's brace sank ENPPI in Ismailia.
Newsmaker (Ahmed Eid):
Harras Hodoud forward Ahmed Eid put in a superb display in his side's 2-2 draw with Zamalek but made headlines for the wrong reasons in their second game against Smouha, which ended with the same scoreline.
The 30-year-old notched Hodoud's first goal on 35 minutes with a fine volley but was sent off after the interval for swearing at the referee and pushing away the yellow card he intended to hand him.
He faces up to a six-match suspension for his behavior which he said could cost him his place in Egypt's squad.
