In a tightly contested match between Ismaily SC and Al Ittihad Alexandria, the visitors secured a narrow 1-0 victory. The decisive moment came in the second half, at the 65th minute when Al Ittihad capitalized on a rare defensive lapse from the home team to score. Despite Ismaily SC's offensive efforts, resulting in 7 corner kicks compared to Al Ittihad’s 6, they were unable to find the back of the net.

Discipline significantly impacted the flow of the match, with Ismaily SC receiving four yellow cards and a crucial red card that fundamentally shifted the game's dynamics. The dismissal came late in the match, leaving the home side undermanned and unable to effectively press for an equalizer. Al Ittihad, though receiving three yellow cards themselves, managed to maintain composure and structure, particularly in defense.

Teamwork and cohesion favored Al Ittihad Alexandria as they executed a well-organized defensive strategy. Despite conceding more fouls—15 to Ismaily’s 8—they were effective in breaking up Ismaily's play without yielding significant scoring opportunities. Offside infractions were frequent for both teams, with Ismaily caught offside twice and Al Ittihad three times, indicating defensive alertness on both ends. Ultimately, Al Ittihad's ability to convert a key chance and maintain defensive sturdiness under pressure allowed them to edge out in this encounter.
