Haras El Hodood and Ittihad Alexandria SC played to a 0-0 draw in their Egypt League Cup fixture on January 17, 2026. The match was a largely uneventful stalemate, with both teams showing more endeavor than quality in the final third. Haras El Hodood had the better of the first-half chances, forcing the Ittihad goalkeeper into two smart saves. The second half saw Ittihad Alexandria enjoy more possession but they failed to test the home keeper with any meaningful efforts. The draw did little to aid either side's qualification hopes, leaving both teams needing other results to go their way and likely requiring a win in their final group match to have any chance of advancing to the next round.
