Al-Qanah Club have officially secured their promotion to the Egyptian Premier League, returning to the limelight following an impressive run in the Professional League, with six rounds remaining in the season, after their well-deserved 2-0 victory over Masr on Friday evening at the ‘Right to Dream’ Stadium.
Head coach Abdel Nasser Mohamed led his side to a valuable victory over their rivals, managed by Ghanaian Omar Abdel Rabie, in the 28th round of the championship.
Al-Qanah’s goals were scored by the duo Hazem Abousna and Mody Shalata in the 38th and 78th minutes, confirming the team’s superiority and maintaining their lead at the top of the table.
With this victory, Al-Qanah raised their tally to 65 points at the top of the Professional League, whilst Masr’s tally remained at 45 points in fourth place, officially securing Al-Ismaily’s promotion to the Premier League after an exceptional season.
The league system awards the top three places with promotion to the Premier League, whilst the bottom two teams are relegated to the Second Division B.
In the next round, Al-Qanah will face Baladiya Al-Mahalla (who are struggling and now face the threat of relegation), whilst Masr will take on Al-Dakhiliya in a highly anticipated clash in Matchday 29.
