CAIRO (Interstat) — In a stunning reversal of pregame projections, ENPPI delivered a commanding 4-0 victory over Petrojet in a League Cup match on Sunday, March 29, 2026, at Petrosport Stadium in Kattameya.

The result defied overwhelming statistical forecasts, which had heavily favored the home side. Interstat’s game simulator had projected a 1-0 win for Petrojet, and its ELO system gave Petrojet an 82.30 percent probability of victory. Instead, ENPPI seized control early and never relented, handing Petrojet a comprehensive defeat to open both teams’ campaigns in the Egyptian domestic cup competition.

The visiting side’s attack was ruthlessly efficient, with all four goals coming from second-half substitutes, highlighting the depth of ENPPI’s squad. The breakthrough came quickly after the restart when Ahmed Khalil Kalosha, who had just entered the match, powered in a header in the 61st minute. He was assisted by midfielder Ammar Hamdy.

The lead doubled just four minutes later. Another substitute, Mohamed Sherif Hathout, found the net with a left-footed strike in the 65th minute, with the assist credited to forward Sékou Sonko.

ENPPI continued to press and extended its advantage in the 87th minute. Substitute Hamed Abdalla scored with his left foot, finishing a play set up by fellow substitute Ziad Kamal. The scoring was capped in the fourth minute of second-half stoppage time when substitute Ali Mahmoud also scored with his left foot, again assisted by Kamal.

The match was not without its disciplinary moments. Petrojet’s Ammar Hamdy received a yellow card in the 17th minute. ENPPI saw three players booked: Ziad Kamal in the 29th minute, Sékou Sonko in the 70th minute, and Ahmed Bahbah in the 86th minute.

The victory gives ENPPI a perfect start to its League Cup season, moving its record in the competition to 1 win and 0 losses. Across all competitions this season, ENPPI now stands at 1 win and 0 losses. For Petrojet, the loss marks a disappointing beginning in the League Cup, with a record of 0 wins and 1 loss, mirroring its overall season record of 0 wins and 1 losses.

The performance underscored a dominant team effort from ENPPI, particularly from its bench, which provided all the goal-scoring contributions to secure the decisive away victory.
