Round-up: Egyptians overseas
Omar Zaazou Published in FilGoal on 23 - 12 - 2012


Performance of the week
A fine brace from Hosni Abd-Rabou capped a dazzling display in Al-Nasr's 4-2 win over Al-Taawon in the Saudi Crown Prince Cup.
But the Egypt international is set for a three-week layoff after picking up an injury.
The emergence of 'Koka'
Hardly known in his homeland, Egypt U-20 striker Ahmed Hassan ‘Koka' netted his maiden goal in European football, scoring a consolation for Portuguese side Rio Ave in a 3-2 League Cup defeat to Pacos Ferreira after coming on as a second-half sub.
Mohamed Al-Gabbas was another Egyptian on target in Europe as Hany Ramzy's Lierse secured a 2-2 Belgian league draw with Oud-Heverlee, with the striker scoring his side's second from the spot for his second goal of the season.
Egypt defender Ahmed Saied 'Ouka' featured for the whole 90 minutes while Ahmed Samir Farag was confined to the bench throughout the game.
Basel's Mohamed Salah played no games but the Egypt prodigy had a week to remember after he was named Africa's Most Promising Talent of the Year 2012 by CAF.
In England, Ahmed Elmohamady's Hull City had their promotion chances boosted as they moved second in the Championship, with the Egypt full back playing another 90 minutes in the 2-1 win over Derby County.
Meanwhile, Adam El-Abd will have to wait till Christmas as Brighton and Hove Albion had their game at Blackburn put off due to a water-logged Ewood Park pitch.
Mido had to watch Barnsley secure a 2-1 triumph over Millwall as the Egypt international looks set to part ways with the Championship strugglers.
In the UAE, Shikabala had to watch Al-Wasl slump to a 2-1 Cup loss to Al-Fujairah from the sidelines as he is nursing a thigh injury.
Similarly, Mohamed Zidan did not feature in Bani Yas' 2-0 win at Dubai due to a nagging knee complaint that will keep him out for three weeks.
Managers hammered
In Saudi Arabia, Mohamed Salah saw Al-Shoala suffer a 4-1 drubbing at giants Ahli Jeddah in the Crown Prince Cup while Hajr - coached by Tarek Yehia - were hammered 5-2 by Al-Faisali in the same competition.
