Egypt's referees committee has settled a dispute over Al Ahly's goal against Al Qanah, confirming the ball crossed the line.
- The Referees Committee published an analytical video of controversial decisions from rounds 6 and 7 on the Egyptian Football Association's official account.
- The committee confirmed referee Mahmoud Naji correctly awarded Al Ahly's third goal against Al Qanah, as the ball fully crossed the line.
- The committee backed referee Hamada El-Qalawi's decision not to penalize Zamalek goalkeeper Mohamed Awad after his collision with a Petrol Asyut player.
- The committee said El-Qalawi's cancellation of a Petrol Asyut player's red card was correct, as the play warranted only a yellow.
- A referees committee source denied the video analysis segment would be cancelled, attributing its delay to issues around rounds six and seven.
