The Pharaohs showed another shaky performance in their friendly match versus Kuwait. The game ended in a 1-1 draw. Egypt capitalized on possession and created many chances but failed to convert while their opponents scored from a controversial penalty kick.

The Egyptian team lacked many names who missed the game because of injuries. However, some of the experienced players like Abou Trikea, Ahmed Hassan and El Saka were in the strating line up but had minor impact.

Egypt had a confused start and the homeside almost scored through Bashaar Abdulah who took advantage of a defensive error by El Saka and sent a powerful shot at goal but it was denied superbly by El Hadari.

A few minutes later, El Saka made another fatal mistake when he failed to stop the ball which fell to Bahaar who took it in his stride and fell inside the box. The player fell unchallenged but still the controversial match referee awarded Kuwait a penalty kick from which Bashaar gave the homeside the lead.
