The peasants lost to second-division side Canal Mooring & Lights 4-3 on penalties after a 2-2 draw to suffer a first-round exit from Egypt's oldest competition.

They could not retain their top flight status after a 1-1 draw at Harras Hodoud last Monday condemned them to relegation.

Canal Mooring & Lights, the second lower division side to book a last-16 berth after Ragaa, will face Petrojet in the second round.

Petrojet, who finished fourth in the Egyptian Premier League, crushed Qanah 3-0.

Military Production could have become the second Premier League team to be eliminated but struck in stoppage time to spare their blushes against Nassr.

Nassr took a surprise lead two minutes before the break but striker Hassan Mousa brought Production level on 70 minutes.

A late goal from Hassan Awad prevented Production from following in the footsteps of Police Union, who were knocked out of the cup on Friday after a defeat at the hands of Ragaa.

Asyut Petroleum needed four goals from Wael Farrag to claim a 5-3 victory over Alexandria-based club Koroum in a thrilling game.

Gouna, who survived relegation on the final day of the season, went through after defeating Dakhlia 4-3 on penalties.

The normal and extra time ended in a 2-2 draw as Gouna forward Gamal Hamza scored twice.

The former Zamalek man will join Egyptian champions Ahli in the close season.
