Performance of the week: Ahmed Hassan 'Koka' was the only foreign-based Egyptian to find the net this week, doubling Rio Ave's advantage from the spot in a 2-0 Portuguese league win over Vitória Setúbal for his first goal of the season. Three Egyptians in Swiss league thriller In another Liga Sagres match, defender Ali Ghazal featured for the whole game in Nacional's 1-1 home draw with Vitória Guimarães after missing the 3-1 loss at Estoril in last week's opener. Newly-signed Egypt U-19 duo Amr Mokhtar and Adham Torki have yet to play for Gil Vicente after being ruled out of a 2-1 dramatic loss to giants Benfica. In Switzerland, on-fire forward Mohamed Salah and midfielder Mohamed Elneny took part in Basel's 1-1 draw with Luzern, with the latter coming on as a second-half sub. The international pair, however, didn't impress much in the game, as newly-signed teenager Mahmoud 'Kahraba' made a fine debut for Luzern, just featuring for 18 minutes. Elsewhere, Ahmed Elmohamady played full 90 minutes to help a 10-man Hull City chalk up a 1-0 home win over Norwich City, with the Egypt full-back contributing to the penalty that Robbie Brady scored to win the game. In the English Championship, Brighton center-half Adam El-Abd watched his team beat Burnley 2-0 from the bench for the fourth league game on the trot. Hossam Ghaly and Ahmed Samir Farag retained their status as regulars for Belgium's Lierse, helping their side end a three-match winless streak with a 1-0 home victory over Waasland-Beveren. In Saudi Arabia, ex-Zamalek midfielder Ibrahim Salah featured for the whole game but couldn't help newly-promoted Orouba avoid a 3-0 drubbing at Hilal.
