Mido scored on his first appearance as Zamalek came from behind to score six goals past promoted Ghazl El-Mahalla in their first Egyptian Premier League game on Wednesday.
Mahalla took the lead through Ghanaian striker Samuel Owusu but Mahmoud Fathallah equalized for Zamalek .
Ahmed Hassan grabbed his league-debut goal between Zaki�s dubious brace, with linesman Khaled Sobhi at the center of action in the first half.
Ten minutes from the end, Mido came off the bench to score on his returning debut from the spot, while the other substitute striker Hussein Hamdi completed the rout with his first touch.
