In-form striker Amr Al-Sulaya was on target as Ismaily continued their fine Egyptian Premier League run with a 1-0 victory over promoted Nasr Saturday.

Al-Sulaya scored the Dervish winning goal seven minutes before the break to help his side in recovering from this season's only defeat to Arab Contractors last week.

The Dervish moved to fifth place in the table with 22 points, 11 behind leaders ENPPI. It's still a remarkable run for Ismaily, who had six points deducted for failing to fulfill their financial obligations towards a former Nigerian striker.

Elsewhere, Haras El-Hodoud continued their poor run in the league as they held to a goalless draw Ittihad El-Shorta.

The military side are ninth in the league's table with 21 points, one point over 20th placed Ittihad El-Shorta.

A 70th minute goal by Gouna forward Mahmoud Sayed Ahmed was denied by a late notch from Petrojet forward Mohamed Ragab one minute before the final whistle to finish the game at a 1-1 draw.

Petrojet stay fourth in the Egyptian Premier League teams' table with 24 points, while Gouna placed 16th with 16 points.
