Togolese striker Mikael Dodzi stole the show as Gaish snatched a precious 1-0 victory over ten-man Ittihad in Alexandria. Dodzi, who returned after a two-month absence, came off the bench to score the only goal of the game on 67 minutes, handing Gaish their first win this season. Ittihad played most of the game with 10 men after striker Hani Al-Egeizi was sent off in the 24th minute for a rash challenge. Gaish also finished the game with a man down as goal-hero Dodzi received his marching orders four minutes from time, following two bookable offences. Referee Samir Osman had to halt the game for five minutes, following crowd trouble from the Ittihad fans who was far from happy with his decisions. Gaish moved to 11th place on three points following two opening defeats, while Ittihad remain winless with two points from three games.
