Egyptian goalie Sherif Ekramy played a full match versus Celtic but he couldn't impress as he conceded three goals in the first half. The first goal came through a slow reaction from the Egyptian goalkeeper.

According to Skysports studio, Ekramy was one of the reasons Feyenoord lost. However, and to be fair, Ekramy was responsible for the first goal in particular as he couldn't stop the ball due to a slow reaction.

The 2nd goal came through a header and again, Ekramy should have done better. On the other side, the 3rd goal came in a similar fashion to the first but the shot was too fast to be stopped.

The Feyenoord defense looked shaky as well, and didn't provide enough cover for Ekramy which added to Feyenoord problems in the game.


In the 2nd half, Feyenoord improved alot but they managed to score a single goal only. This was due to the excellent form of Celtic's goalkeeper.

It should be noted that Feyenoord ended this friendly tournament without any points as they lost the their two matches. On the other hand, Hossam Ghaly's Tottenham won the tournament after two wins.

EP wish Ekramy the best in this season..
