Hany Hattout: El Shahat Came On and Delivered

Speaking on his “Modern Sports” program, Hany Hattout said what impressed him most about Hussein El Shahat’s goal was the calm way the player reacted after scoring, without making any gesture aimed at the head coach.

The presenter added that such a reaction reflected the personality of an experienced player who understands his position within the squad, regardless of whether he starts a match or comes off the bench.

He continued: “That is the role of a captain and a big player who knows his place in the team and understands that his status is not affected by the number of minutes he plays under a new coach who is trying to put his own stamp on the team.”

A Late Goal Seals Al Ahly’s Victory

Hussein El Shahat’s contribution came at a crucial stage of the match, with Al Ahly holding a narrow lead after Ahmed Sayed Zizo had opened the scoring in the 16th minute.

Zizo received the ball inside the penalty area before producing a powerful low shot that found the left side of Abu Qir Fertilizers’ goal, giving Al Ahly an early advantage.

Al Ahly then continued pushing forward in search of a second goal to secure the result, but the decisive strike did not arrive until the closing stages of the match.

In the fourth minute of stoppage time, Hussein El Shahat stepped forward with a powerful shot that found the net, confirming Al Ahly’s victory and securing all three points for his team.
