Abderrahim Deghmoum played a crucial role in Al Masry Port Said’s 2-0 triumph over Simba SC in the CAF Confederation Cup on Wednesday but left the pitch injured, casting doubt over his availability for upcoming fixtures.
Early impact and stunning opener
The Algerian forward put Al Masry ahead in the 15th minute with a brilliant strike, setting the tone for a dominant performance by the Egyptian side.
His goal provided a much-needed breakthrough, lifting the spirits of the home crowd and strengthening their hopes of advancing in the competition.
As Al Masry continued to press, John Eikoba doubled the lead, ensuring a comfortable advantage.
With a solid defensive display, the hosts managed to keep Simba SC at bay, controlling possession and limiting their opponents’ attacking opportunities.
Injury setback raises concerns
Despite his excellent performance, Deghmoum’s night was cut short when he suffered an injury in the 64th minute, forcing him to leave the field.
The incident caused immediate concern among the club’s medical and technical staff, as the forward had been instrumental in their attacking setup.
While the extent of the injury remains unclear, Al Masry will be hoping it is not a serious setback, especially as they continue their campaign in the CAF Confederation Cup.
His absence in future matches could pose a challenge for the team as they push for qualification to the next round.
Al Masry strengthens qualification chances
With this victory, Al Masry edges closer to securing a spot in the next stage of the tournament, delivering a strong statement of intent.
However, the team will be keeping a close eye on Deghmoum’s condition in the coming days, with fans eagerly awaiting updates on his fitness.
As the CAF Confederation Cup progresses, Al Masry will look to build on this momentum while hoping that their Algerian forward makes a swift recovery.
