6 victories, 5 draws and 5 defeats. That’s what National Bank of Egypt have to build on here at Al-Shorta Stadium in the Premier League.

A strong away win for National Bank of Egypt against Eastern Company SC the last match, as Yakubu, Diawara and Dabash were on target. Finally, a league win after three games without one.
