ENPPI defeated Masr 2-1 in the Premier League's fourth round on September 9th, 2026. The hosts took a commanding lead before the break only to find themselves under pressure after the interval. A second-half strike from Wajdi Nabhan brought the visitors level, but ENPPI held on for a result that ended a winless run stretching back to the start of the campaign.
Mahmoud Kahraba opened the scoring from the penalty spot in the 33rd minute, giving the hosts an early advantage. Ahmed Khalil Kalousha doubled the lead with a well-taken goal in the 42nd minute, and the visitors were unable to respond before the interval. Masr made three changes at the break, bringing on Mohamed Ahmed Rabia, Abdelrahman Hassan El Banouby, and Ahmed Elkalamawy in an attempt to shift the momentum.
Nabhan's goal in the 56th minute changed the complexion of the game entirely. The visitors pressed forward with renewed energy, but ENPPI's defence held firm. Marwane Hajij and Mohamed Hamdi Ibrahim collected yellow cards as the match grew increasingly physical, with both sides looking for a winner in the closing stages.
ENPPI had 43 per cent possession against Masr's 57, but the hosts were more clinical with their chances. The visitors created one big chance of their own, yet shots accuracy sat at just 17 per cent compared to 29 per cent for the hosts. Masr finished 13th with four points from three games, while ENPPI moved off the bottom with a single point lifted from the draw they had previously endured.
