Hungarian referee Viktor Kassai had been assigned to preside over the Dervishes' 1-0 win at Telecom Egypt on Monday, and the coastal side were satisfied with his competency.

"Our last game (against Telecom) was competently officiated by a foreign referee, therefore we think it would be better to have another expatriate to judge the Tersana game," Al-Tayeb told FilGoal.com.

"We are yet hold a meeting to thoroughly discuss this matter."

Ismaili are level on 60 points with leaders Ahli, who have better goal difference over the coastal club.

Both sides have one remaining match each, and they will meet in a decisive play-off if they remain level on points after the final round.

"We would also like a foreign referee to officiate the potential decider with Ahli," he concluded.
