BENI SUEF, Egypt (Interstat) — La Viena and visiting Dayrout played to a 1-1 draw in their football match Thursday at Al Assiouty Sport Stadium, with the goals separated by a 21-minute gap after a tense opening half-hour. La Viena broke through in the 36th minute, and Dayrout equalized in the 57th. The home side pressed for much of the first half before the breakthrough, while Dayrout responded after the break with a more direct approach and found the leveler. Neither side could produce a winner in the closing stages, leaving the teams to share the points in Beni Suef.

The match unfolded with La Viena controlling possession early and probing around the Dayrout penalty area. The home team’s reward came in the 36th minute, when it finally converted its attacking pressure. Dayrout, which had been forced to defend for stretches before the interval, adjusted after halftime and began to threaten on the counter. That change paid off in the 57th minute, when the visitors pulled level. From there, the game opened up, but neither goalkeeper was beaten again as the sides settled for a draw at Al Assiouty Sport Stadium.

La Viena spent long spells circulating the ball through midfield and forced Dayrout into a deep defensive shape. The hosts’ best moments came from wide areas, where crosses into the box created uncertainty. Dayrout’s response was to sit compact and look for openings on the break. After halftime, Dayrout pushed higher and won more second balls, changing the rhythm. The equalizer in the 57th minute rewarded that improvement. In the final half-hour, La Viena tried to reassert control, but Dayrout’s back line held firm. Late substitutions interrupted flow, and neither side found a decisive chance.

Dayrout’s season record in the competition is now 1 win, 1 loss and 3 draws, and its record across all competitions stands at the same 1-1-3 mark. La Viena is now 1 win, 2 losses and 2 draws in the competition and across all competitions. The result added another draw to Dayrout’s campaign and left La Viena with a second draw in its league fixtures. Both teams remain level on the same number of wins in the competition, though La Viena has one more loss than Dayrout and Dayrout has one more draw.

Dayrout entered the match after a 5-1 home loss to El Sekka El Hadid SC, a 0-0 draw at Tanta, a 1-0 win at Delta United and a 2-2 home draw with El Ismaily. La Viena had beaten El Ismaily 1-0 away, drawn 0-0 at home with Haras El Hodood, lost 2-0 at El-Entag El-Harby and lost 3-1 at home to Al Nasr. Those results framed a matchup between teams still searching for consistent form in the early part of the season.
