Al-Asiouti Sport beat Abu Qir Semad 2-0 in the Premier League's Regular Season round 2 on 27 August 2026. The hosts kept their spot at the top of the table with a third straight win, moving to nine points from three matches. Abu Qir Semad remain tenth after two games, sitting on three points with one defeat already on their record. And here's the thing — the gap between the sides was visible long before the whistle.
Y. Obama opened the scoring just before the interval, striking in the 45th minute. O. Fakhoury doubled the advantage three minutes into the second half, catching the visitors off guard. By then Seif Shika had already picked up a yellow card in the 20th minute, and the hosts were playing with confidence. Abu Qir Semad managed zero shots on target the entire match, a statistic that told you everything.
The substitutions came thick and fast after the break, with five changes between the 55th and 85th minutes. F. Akem, M. Abou Gouda, and Ocha all entered for the hosts in the 55th minute, while W. El Karti and Zalaka followed shortly after. M. Lasheen and O. Fakhoury were replaced in the 71st, and M. Alaa came on for S. Shika in the 79th. Ahmed Samy joined Karim Hafez and Mahmoud Zalaka on the cards, with Youssef Hamdi also cautioned late on.
The numbers painted a clear picture. Al-Asiouti Sport held 68 per cent possession and completed 474 of 529 passes, while Abu Qir Semad managed just 174 from 244. The hosts registered four shots on target and six off target, compared to the visitors' zero attempts on goal. To be fair, Abu Qir Semad did win five corners and forced two saves, but that was about as much as they could muster.
The result leaves Al-Asiouti Sport unbeaten after three games, sitting three points clear of anything approaching pressure. Abu Qir Semad's campaign has started unevenly, with a win against National Bank of Egypt followed by a loss to Ceramic Cleopatra. The hosts have now beaten the visitors once before, back in August 2024, when the scoreline read 1-0. By then the table looked very different, and it still does.
