In a closely contested match, Smouha SC managed a narrow 1-0 victory over Haras El-Hodood SC. The decisive moment came in the first half when Smouha capitalized on their limited opportunities to score the only goal of the match. This goal secured the home team their victory despite Haras El-Hodood's persistent efforts to draw level. Although Smouha had one fewer corner than their opponent with a tally of five compared to six, they used their set-piece scenarios effectively to maintain pressure.

Discipline played a significant role in determining the game's flow, with a total of 30 fouls between both teams. Smouha found themselves more frequently on the wrong side of the referee, collecting two yellow cards and suffering the handicap of a red card in the second half. Haras El-Hodood, although slightly better disciplined with only one yellow card, couldn’t exploit the extra man advantage after Smouha’s sending-off.

The teamwork dynamics of both sides were evident in the offsides statistic, with the away team managing well to stay level with play and not committing any offsides, in contrast to Smouha's three. While Haras El-Hodood demonstrated fine tactical discipline to maintain their offensive structure, it was Smouha's tighter defense, particularly after reducing to ten men, that allowed them to hold onto their slender lead. This match was marked by intense physical play and strategic positioning, proving decisive in Smouha’s hard-earned victory.
