Ghanaian forward Benjamin Bernard Boateng was the difference-maker as Kahrbaa Ismailia earned a 2–0 away victory over Pharco in the Egyptian Premier League. Boateng opened the scoring in the 19th minute, calmly converting a penalty won by Yassin El Mallah to put the visitors in front at Haras El Hodoud Stadium. Kahrbaa Ismailia managed the game intelligently after the breakthrough, keeping Pharco at arm’s length despite the hosts edging possession and registering more shots. Coach Reda Shehata’s side stayed compact, relied on quick transitions, and looked increasingly dangerous on the counter as the match wore on. Boateng was substituted in the 57th minute after putting in a hard-working shift on the left of the front three, with Ali Sulieman coming on to add fresh legs. Deep into stoppage time, Sulieman sealed the win with a 90+1st-minute goal from a Seif Elkhashab assist, confirming an important three points for the visitors. The strike was Boateng’s first league goal of the 2025/26 Premier League season, taking his tally to 3 appearances, 2 goal, and 0 assists so far. Kahrbaa Ismailia now prepare to host ENPPI on Saturday, 7 March 2026, as they look to build on this impressive result. Send your news stories to [email protected] and via WhatsApp on +233 546310076.
