With the visitors playing on the counter, striker Ahmed Hassan Mekki came close to giving his side the lead when he went through on goal in the 57th minute before being thwarted by the keeper.

Smouha, however, were lucky not to concede 12 minutes later when keeper Mohamed Abo-Gabal foiled substitute’s Eleazar Rodgers effort before the woodwork denied the hosts just seconds later.
