In order for Hossam Hassan, the technical director of the Union, to maintain his record free of defeats against his counterpart Ali Maher, the Egyptian coach, as they met 5 times, the Brigadier came out victorious in 3, and the tie was a judge in two matches.
But Hossam Hassan was unable to beat Al-Masry for the seventh consecutive match in the League Championship, as his last victory as a coach over Port Said’s sons dates back to November 2010.
For his part, Ali Maher avoided defeat against Al-Ittihad for the fifth consecutive match, as he won 3 occasions and tied twice in the last 5 confrontations.
The match started with fire and Al-Masry entered it with great force, so he managed to get a penalty kick after a foul committed by Mustafa Ibrahim against Ahmed Rifaat.
Rifaat set out to implement the kick himself in the tenth minute, and scored it successfully, refusing to celebrate by scoring the net of his previous team.

Al-Masry nearly doubled his lead directly in the 12th minute with Congolese Kazadi Kasengu’s shot, but his ball was kicked off the right post.
The second half was more exciting and the two teams posed a great danger to the goals.
Kazadi got a golden opportunity in the 49th minute when he was alone with Emad Al Sayed and dodged him, but he fired outside the goal.
The first threat from Al-Ittihad came in the 51st minute with Karim El Deeb’s header, but Ahmed Masoud responded steadily.
Ali Maher decided to take out Kazadi in the 66th minute, and replaced him with Mohamed Antar, the former Zamalek player.
On the other hand, Al-Ittihad attacks increased in intensity, in exchange for a desperate defense of Al-Masry, before the 75th minute witnessed a serious injury to Omar Kamal, who fainted, before waking up with the intervention of the medical system.
Finally, in the 78th minute, Al Ittihad scored the equalizer with a wonderful header from Rizk after a perfect cross from Khaled Al-Ghandour, which Masoud was unable to deal with.
The head of the hatch tried to surprise his guests, so Razzaq Cisse shot from close range in the 79th minute, but his left-wing crossed over the crossbar.
The most dangerous and strangest chances of the match came in the 88th minute for Karim Al-Iraqi, Zaheer Al-Masry, who dodged Emad Al-Sayed and faced the empty goal of his goalkeeper, but hit the top goal with great recklessness, wasting the chance to win.
His colleague Hassan Ali, in turn, tried to surprise Al-Ittihad with a long-range shot in the second minute of stoppage time, but Emad Al-Sayed successfully sent it to the corner, writing a tie as the final result of the confrontation under the tears of the Iraqi, who suffered an injury to his left shoulder.
