Al Qanah Clinches a Promoted Return with a 2-0 Triumph Over Masar
Al Qanah celebrate promotion after sealing the top spot with a 2-0 win over Masar.

Promotion

After a long hiatus

Al Qanah sealed its return to the Egyptian Premier League, back in the spotlight after a standout run, six games from the end, following a deserved 2-0 win over Masar on Friday at Right to Dream Stadium.

Coach Abd Al-Nasser Mohamed led his side to a precious victory over the Ghanaian-helmed opponent, as the 28th round of the competition unfolded tonight.

The goals came from Hazem Abousna and Modi Shalata, in the 38th and 78th minutes, sealed the win and kept the lead.

With this victory, Al Qanah rose to 65 points atop the league, while Masar stayed on 45 in fourth, sealing Ismailia’s promotion to the Premier League after a remarkable season for the club.

The tournament format awards the top three teams automatic promotion, while the bottom two drop to Division Two B altogether.

Next Encounters

The Channel will face Al-Mahalla Municipality next, a side under threat of relegation, while Masar meets Al-Dakhiliyah in a highly anticipated 29th round.

Punchline: If promotions were a sprint, Al Qanah just did a victory lap with a halftime snack.

Punchline 2: And Masar? They’re probably dreaming about a sign that says “relegated but still hopeful” — the dream team, still chasing the dream.
