Al Ittihad Alexandria managed a narrow 2-1 victory against Al Mokawloon Al Arab in a keenly contested Premier League encounter. Al Ittihad showed early dominance, capitalizing quickly on an opportunity at precisely 38 minutes, setting the tone for the match's initial exchanges. Al Mokawloon responded with greater intensity after the break, equalizing at the 60-minute mark, yet Al Ittihad's persistent attack paid off with a second goal just 17 minutes later, which ultimately decided the match.

Although Al Mokawloon Al Arab had a higher number of corner kicks, totalling five to Al Ittihad's three, they failed to convert these set-piece opportunities into goals. This inefficiency in capitalizing on set plays contrasted with Al Ittihad's more clinical finishing, which was pivotal in securing their win. The home side’s lone offside compared to the away team's disciplined zero indicates Al Ittihad's willingness to push the defensive line, revealing a dynamic yet risky attacking approach.

Discipline was a crucial aspect impacting the match's flow. Al Mokawloon committed 20 fouls leading to two yellow cards, disrupting their own rhythm and handing indirect advantages to Al Ittihad. The home team, however, was not without fault, receiving three yellow cards from 12 fouls, which hinted at moments of over-zealous defending. Despite their infractions, Al Ittihad's ability to maintain composure when it mattered most, illustrated by their concerted efforts in defense and attack, was instrumental in their victory.
