Wadi Degla 0-0 Al Ahly | Match Video Review
Ahly’s five-match winning run in the Egyptian Premier League came at a halt after they failed to break down Wadi Degla in a 0-0 draw in Cairo on Saturday.
The defending champions, who are chasing a ninth successive league title, were below-par, losing one of their four rescheduled league matches.
Despite chalking up six wins in 10 games, losing only once, Ahly are yet to produce the kind of stellar performances that helped them totally dominate the premier domestic competition in the last decade.
They lie fifth in the table with 21 points, 10 behind leaders Zamalek who played three games more. In-form Degla, who made an impressive start to the season, lie third with 25 points from 13 matches.
Ahly looked largely toothless against Wadi Degla despite the presence of in-form winger Walid Soliman and promising youngster Ramadan Sobhi, who played behind lone striker Ahmed Abdel-Zaher.
They could only muster tame efforts which barely troubled Degla goalkeeper Amir Abdel-Hamid, an ex-Ahly shot-stopper.
Degla, who primarily tried to soak up pressure in the first half, were bolder after the break, pushing forward in a bid to stun their illustrious opponents.
