Smouha Edge Ghazl El Mahalla to Seal Egypt Cup Round of 16
Smouha defeated Ghazl El Mahalla 3-1 at Borg El Arab in Alexandria to advance to the Egypt Cup Round of 16. The Senegalese forward Pape Badji opened the scoring, followed by a second from Khaled El-Ghandour and a late strike by Samir Fikri. Mahalla pulled one back through Ahmed Shousha from a penalty, but Smouha clinched the win with a stoppage-time red card for Mohamed Said Makarona. They now await the winner of the Haras El Hodoud vs Ismaily tie.
