We had a hope to see Egyptians Shawky
and Ghaly playing against each other in today's Premiership
encounter between Boro and Derby. However, both Egyptians
didn't start but they came from bench in the 2nd half.
Lee Cattermole replaced Shawky in midfield
as the Egyptian is not completely fit to play the entire
game following his toe injury. On the other hand, Paul
Jewel decided to start with the same formation for Derby
in their match versus Manchester United which ended
in a 1-0 narrow win for United.
The first half ended in a 1-0 lead for
Boro as Tuncay powered a shot home from the edge of
the box.
After around an hour, Ghaly and Shawky came on, Ghaly's role
was to try creating some chances for the forwards in order
to give the Rams the chance to get back into the game. Ghaly
did this job quite well and created a couple of key passes
to his teammates who failed to take advantage. The Egyptian
got a 7 rating by SkySports and the website mentioned that
the Egyptian substitute really made a difference when he came
on.

On the other side, Shawky had little to offer
as his duties were more defensive. The Egyptian helped his
teammates to end the game in a win which put them in the 12th
spot and meant that Boro will be in a safe position away from
relegation zone.
