Alexandria Union and Al Masry rally to victories in dramatic Egyptian Premier League matches

It was a night of excitement in the Egyptian Premier League as Al Masry clinched a crucial victory over National Bank, while Alexandria Union finally ended their winless streak.

Al Masry emerged triumphant with a 1-0 win at the Suez Stadium, thanks to Ahmed El-Qarmouti’s early second-half strike. Despite being outplayed in possession, Al Masry’s defensive discipline held firm against a determined National Bank side, whose coach, Ayman El Ramady, made tactical changes that nearly turned the tide. Tempers ran high, the referee issued three yellow cards to Al Masry players in the first half, and Baher El Mohamady was sent off after a second booking.

National Bank wasted several clear chances to equalize, with Osama Faisal coming closest, but their first defeat under the new coach leaves them 12th in the table. Al Masry’s win puts them top by a single point over rivals Zamalek.

Meanwhile, Alexandria Union overcame months of frustration to secure a 2-1 victory against Al Mokawloon Al Arab, spurred by standout performances from Fadi Farid and Favor Akim. The win marks their first since August and lifts them out of the bottom ranks, renewing optimism for fans and players as the league season heats up.
