VIDEO: EKRAMY Pull Off Brilliant Penalty Save From Ahmed El Sheikh
Ahly keeper Sherif Ekramy was the hero as he blocked a fifth-minute stoppage-time penalty from rivals Maqassa to keep a clean sheet and ensure his side come up a 1-0 Egyptian league victory at Cairo’s El-Salam Stadium.In a six-pointer clash, a debatable first-half penalty from Abdallah El-Said put Ahly in front, with Maqassa failing to threaten their opponents quite often throughout the game.

The defending champions were almost made sure of victory when Maqassa’s Hussein El-Shahat was sent off following a second yellow card late in the game, before the visitors were awarded a last-gasp penalty.
Keeper Ekramy rose to the occasion to deny Ahmed El-Sheikh, on loan from Ahly, from 12 yards to give his side a precious victory.
