the match:
Hearts Of Oak had fallen
behind early by a goal of Mohamed Farouk (4th). Now in the second half
the Ghanaians began with an individually skilful attacking style but found
a concentrated Egyptian defence.
A long kick (of which a
few could be seen) by the Egyptian keeper was backheeled on by an attacker
in the penalty box what set Walid free on the left wing. From a difficult
angle he scored against malplaced defender and goalkeeper trying to defend
a center ball: 2:0 (55th)
Hearts Of Oak kept
trying but only threatened the goal a few times while lacks of concentration
in their defence opened up the opportunity for a thried goal.
The Ghanaians played
quite well on the pitch but were ineffective in front of both goals. Al
Ahly played more and more relaxed, concentrating on capitalizing from opponents
mistakes.
The true winner of
this match could be Raja Casablanca. They now only need 4 points from 3
matches, including the one on Saturday (Oct. 9th)
