El Gounah claimed a valuable 1-0 away win against Smouha SC in the Egyptian Premier League on October 27, 2025. A disciplined defensive performance and a first-half goal earned El Gounah all three points at the Alexandria Stadium. The only goal of the game arrived midway through the first period when a swift counter-attack was finished with a low shot across the goalkeeper into the far corner. Smouha, playing in front of their home fans, controlled possession for much of the match but found it difficult to create clear chances against a deep and compact El Gounah block. The home side's frustration grew in the second half, and they were reduced to ten men after a reckless challenge. El Gounah managed the game expertly in the closing stages to secure a win that boosts their survival hopes, while Smouha's inconsistent form continues.
