Hosni Abd Rabo and Abo
Mosallam's Strasbourg advanced to the last 16 round
of UEFA cup after their 0-0 draw with Litex in the 2nd
leg match. Abo Mosallam who played the first leg game,
was rested today as the Ivorian left back Boka started
in his place.
Strasboug won the first leg by two goals to nil and
so, their mission was easy in the 2nd leg which affected
the quality of the game as most of gameplay was restricted
to the midfield area and the chances were few.
The match ended in a goal-less draw and Strasbourg
advanced to the last 16 round after winning 2-0 on aggregate.
Both Egyptians at Strasbourg Ahmed Abo Mosallam and
Hosni Abd Rabo missed the game. Abd Rabo's absence was
due to injury while Abo Mosallam's absence was due to
the Ivorian international Boka who returned from the
African Cup of Nations to get back into Strasbourg's
main selection.
It should be noted that Ahmed Abo Mosallam signed for Strasbourg
in the winter break to offer the needed replacement for Boka
during the ACN, but the Egyptian played some very good games
for the French side and will probably take Boka's place in
the starting eleven in the coming matches.
More soon...
