Al Ahly played to a goalless draw against Bank Al Ahly in their Round 4 match of the Egyptian Premier League (Nile League). This is Al Ahly's second consecutive draw following their 1-1 tie with Al Ittihad Alexandria in the previous round.
The match witnessed impressive performances from both goalkeepers, Mostafa Shobeir (Al Ahly) and Abdelaziz El Balouty (Al Bank Al Ahly), who each made several crucial saves.
Al Ahly striker Mahmoud Kahraba had the most notable chance of the match when he got on the end of a cross inside the six-yard box. However, El-Balouty showcased his brilliance with an exceptional save from the resulting shot attempt.
Despite continuous efforts from both teams throughout the game, neither side managed to find the back of the net. Mostafa Shobeir was awarded Man of the Match for his outstanding performance, making several critical saves. Al Ahly captain Mohamed El Shenawy was absent from the match to allow younger keeper Shobeir an opportunity in league play.
