The first half of the match between Zamalek and Al Mokawloon Al Arab, currently taking place at Cairo International Stadium as part of the second round of the league competition, ended in a scoreless draw. Neither team delivered the required level of performance. Al Mokawloon tried to press on the White Knight’s defense but without significant danger, while Zamalek did not show the required strength during the half, with occasional threats on Mahmoud Abu Al-Saud’s goal. Abdullah Al-Saeed received a yellow card in the first minute of added time after a strong collision with Omar Al-Wahsh, a player of the Mountain Wolves. Zamalek’s lineup includes goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhi, defenders Omar Gaber, Mahmoud Al-Wensh, Hossam Abdel-Meguid, Mahmoud Ben Naig, midfielders Nabil Donga, Mohamed Shehata, Nasser Maher, Abdullah Al-Saeed, Adam Kayid, and forward Oday Al-Dabbagh.
