Wadi Degla and Ismailia Electricity both secured important and dramatic victories in the 15th round of the Egyptian Premier League, boosting their positions in a tightly contested table.
The two matches delivered early goals, missed chances, and tense finishes that kept fans on edge.
Wadi Degla earned a 3–2 home win over Ghazl El Mahalla at Al Salam Stadium in Cairo in a match that exploded into life from the opening minute. Ivorian forward Jimmy Mwanga put Mahalla ahead in the first minute, but Tunisian defender Saif Teka quickly leveled for Degla in the 8th minute.
Ali Hussein then gave Degla the lead with a second goal in the 20th minute, before Mohamed Abdel Rahim extended the advantage to 3–1 in the 26th minute. Mahalla had a golden chance to reduce the deficit when Ahmed Shousha missed a penalty in the sixth minute of first-half stoppage time, only for Abdel Rahim Omouri to follow up and score the visitors’ second goal.
The result lifted Wadi Degla to 23 points, moving the club into fourth place under coach Mohamed El Sheikh and strengthening its push in the upper half of the table. Ghazl El Mahalla, led by coach Alaa Abdel Aal, remained on 16 points and slipped into 14th place, keeping the pressure on in their fight to climb away from the lower positions.
In Alexandria, Ismailia Electricity claimed a 2–1 away victory over Haras El Hodood in another lively clash from the same round. The visitors started strongly, with Eritrean player Ali Suleiman opening the scoring in the 7th minute and Islam Abdel Naaim doubling the lead just three minutes later.
Haras El Hodood responded through Mahmoud Oka, who pulled one back in the 17th minute to keep the contest alive. Despite home pressure, Ismailia Electricity held firm to preserve the win and take all three points.
With this result, Ismailia Electricity, coached by Reda Shehata, rose to 11 points and now sit 18th in the standings, keeping their survival hopes alive. Haras El Hodood remain on 13 points in 15th place, leaving them still looking over their shoulders in a crowded bottom half of the league table.
