Aswan FC hosted and beat Mokawloon 1-0 on matchday 21 of the Egyptian championship. The solitary goal came in the 14th minute, through an own goal by Ahmed Shimi. The 21-year-old Egyptian midfielder unfortunately slipped the ball into his own goal, thus giving the home team victory. With this result, Aswan finished a series of three straight games without knowing the taste of victory in this competition, in which they are currently in the first second position, with 22 points added.
Koshari’s men must assume a more defensive mentality, calling the opponent for their midfield to come out on counterattacks and cause problems in the opponent’s defense.
