Smouha and Asyut Petroleum played out a goalless draw in the Premier League. Smouha had 53% possession and 12 shots to Asyut's seven, but both goalkeepers made two saves and the score stayed 0-0.
There were no goals to report, with the match's one big chance falling to Asyut Petroleum, who missed it. The first half saw yellow cards for Abdelrahman El Khamisi and Ahmed Khaled, and Samir Fekri was also booked after the interval.
Smouha's extra territory did not translate into clear-cut chances: they managed only two shots on target and an expected goals total of 0.72. Asyut, despite less of the ball, posted the higher xG at 0.83 and will wonder how they did not take the one big chance that came their way.
