The visitors took the lead through Hamed Abdallah, but Mamdouh equalised for Modern Sport in the 21st minute with a header from Mohamed Massad’s cross.

Just three minutes later, the striker completed the turnaround. He collected a cross from Khaled Kaboria, rounded the goalkeeper and finished into an unguarded net.

Mamdouh completed his hat-trick in the 42nd minute after racing clear once again, going around the goalkeeper before putting the ball into the net.
