Egyptian goalie Sherif Ekramy finally got a chance
to express himself with Feyenoord this season. The Egyptian
started with an injury that kept him away for a while
and when he came back from inujury, he started all the
matches on the subs bench.
Last night, Feyenoord played against Galatasaray in
the frindly tournalent the Efes Cup. The Egyptian played
the full 90 minutes and was impressive as he helped
his side to win the game by two goals to one.
Feyenoord took the lead through a great chip from the
veteran striker Van Hoojdonk who spotted Mondragon out
of his net and sent a superb 45 yeards chip to beat
the Galatasaray goalkeeper and to end its path into
the back of the net.
After the goal, Sherif was tested a few times before
half time, his timing was good as he collected two dangerous
crosses aimed into his area. However, he made a major
mistake as he kicked the ball into the body of Gala's
striker Negati but fortunatley, the ball hit the player
and bounced back to Sherif.

Apart from this, the Egyptian showed solid performance and
was confident between the sticks, he always opted for kicking
the ball long into Gala's half and his kicks helped to deliver
the ball quickly into Gla's half.
Galatasaray managed to level the score before half time from
a penalty kick after a foul inside the box. Negati hgit the
ball with power into the bottom corner and Ekramy guessed
right but he couldn't stop the ball because of its speed.
In the 2nd half, Feyenoord managed to score another goal
after a fine through and a one on one sityuation with Galatasaray
goalkeeper Mondragon.
After the goal, Ekramy kept his net clean as he managed to
scop three shots aimed at his goal, he also showed good command
of the penalty area and rushed out on time to intercept the
crosses from Gala side.
With help from confident Ekramy, Feyenoord won the match
against a strong opponent. The Egyptian proved that he can
play well at top level and that he deserves to start in official
games but it seems that Timmer will be the main goalkeeper
for the Rotterdammers for a while despite his poor form this
season.
