Egypt
drew with Kuwait 1-1 after an average game. A defensive
error by El Saka resulted in a penalty kick for the
homeside, from which they scored their only goal. The
Egyptian team controlled the game and wasted many chances
till Shikabala scored the equalizer in the 2nd half.
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.

Egypt put Kuwait under pressure in order to level the score.
However, lack of team play affected the Pharaohs negatively
asevery player appeared to be playing on his own. Lack of
co operation between the players helped Kuwait to end the
first half in a 1-0 lead.
In the 2nd half, Shehata made some changes that
helped Egypt to continue controlling the midfield. Defense
also looked in a better shape than the first haldf with the
introduction of Shady Mohamed.
Egypt's only goal came through Shikabala who
received a fine pass at the edge of the box, the Zamalek forward
outpaced hs marker and sent the ball home with his left to
make the score 1-1.
