Egyptian League Round-up | Ahly back on top & Pyramids bleeds more points

Ahly continued their bid towards a fourth successive Egyptian Premier League title after strolling to a 2-0 win over bottom side Nogoom to move two points clear on top of the table on Sunday.

Moroccan striker Walid Azaro gave Ahly an early lead but was guilty of spurning several clear-cut opportunities to put the result beyond doubt.

But Ramadan Sobhi, who is on loan from Premier League relegated club Huddersfield Town, made the three points safe with a late goal as Ahly maintained their impressive domestic run which was only interrupted by a 1-0 loss to Pyramids last month.

Ahly have 67 points from 29 games, two ahead of second-placed Pyramids who played 31. Zamalek are third on 60 points from 27 matches.

Nogoom are likely to become the first team to be relegated as they lie at the bottom with 25 points, eight adrift of the safety zone with three matches remaining for them.
