Asiuty Sports 1 – 3 Zamalek | Match Video Review
Zamalek secured their eighth victory in 12 Egyptian Premier League games as an easy 3-1 win away to Assiouty Sports helped them return to the summit.
Two goals from striker Ahmed Ali, who made a rare start, and winger Hazem Emam in the first 10 minutes set the Cairo giants on their way to their second straight win.
Watch the Goals here:
Nigerian Prince Nkana took advantage of a defensive lapse to narrow the gap seven minutes past the hour mark but Zamalek quickly reaffirmed their authority despite wasting a penalty from left-back Ahmed Samir.
They put the result beyond doubt via a late header from substitute Ahmed Eid to leave top-flight debutants Assiouty still searching for their first win.
The White Knights regained their position on top with 28 points. Second-placed ENPPI, who are enjoying a great run of form, will overtake Zamalek if they beat Smouha on Monday.
Zamalek will face Gouna in their next game before playing ENPPI in a top-of-the-table clash on 25 December.
Assiouty, who caused an upset by holding defending champions Ahly to a 0-0 draw in October, are still bottom of the table with only 4 points from four draws.
