Mohammed Awad's Zamalek moment recalls 2013 incident
The match between Zamalek and Petrojet Asyut in the Egyptian Premier League, which ended with a 1-0 victory for Zamalek, featured a controversial moment that sparked wide debate about how Zamalek's goalkeeper, Mohamed Awad, handled a ball outside the penalty area with his hand without a foul being called. This incident brought to mind a similar situation that occurred ten years ago when he was playing for Ismaily. This moment is significant because it raises discussion about the legality of the goalkeeper's actions in such situations, especially since the referee did not award a foul despite the ball touching his hand outside the penalty area. This led to calls for his suspension. Additionally, the match marked Awad's return to Zamalek's goalkeeping position after more than 19 months. He appeared in the game wearing the number 99 shirt and was selected as the starting goalkeeper as part of tactical changes. The incident underscores ongoing debates surrounding refereeing decisions and the performance of goalkeepers in Egyptian matches, particularly in cases involving handling the ball outside the penalty area.
