First win for Al-Gaish
Al-Gaish grabbed their first win of the season following a 1-0 victory over newcomers Asyut Petroleum in the Egyptian League on Friday.

Veteran playmaker Abdul-Sattar Sabri scored the winner for Al-Gaish in the 34th minute.

He latched onto Ernest Papa Arko's back-heeled pass to fire home past Asyut Petroleum keeper Mostafa Kamal.

Military club Al-Gaish failed to impress in the early stages of the season under new coach Sabri Al-Menyawi, losing three successive games.

Former boss Talaat Youssef, now in charge of newly-promoted Police Union, led Al-Gaish to a fourth-placed finish last season.
