Zamalek could not overcome a resolute Ittihad El-Shorta side to play out a goalless draw in the Egyptian Premier League at Arab Contractors Stadium on Thursday.
Playing with an unfamiliar away blue kit, Zamalek failed to build on their emphatic 6-1 victory over Talae El-Geish last week, to spill their first points of the season despite squandering a host of clear-cut chances.
The White Knights, who still have a game in hand, now lie eighth of the league table, level on four points with Shorta, who have an inferior goal difference.
Police Union 0-0 Zamalek
El Gouna 1-2 Ismaily
