CAIRO: Ismaili maintained their perfect start of the season as they beat Telecom Egypt 4-1 on Tuesday.

The hosts could only hold for 34 minutes before Mohamed Fadl opened the score after being sent clear on goal by Hosni Abd-Rabou.

Fadl, after a skilful effort, assisted Captain Mohamed Soliman Homos doubling the lead for the Dervishes seconds before the break.

At the return, Abd-Rabou made it 3-0 receiving an excellent through ball from Iraqi striker Mostafa Karim.

Saving the best for last, Abd-Rabou caught goalie Samir Ashour out of the six yards to a long-range-lob in the back of the net in the 70th minute.

Ibrahim Deif sent a 30-yard-streamer in the back of the net but it was nothing more than a consolation goal.

Telecom Egypt are now in a very critical situation as the new League comers registered a disastrous start of their campaign after conceding three straight defeats.

Despite splashing lots of cash in the transfer market, Tarek Yehia s team fails to deliver up to the very moment.
