Zamalek maintained their nine-point advantage over arch rivals Ahly and moved a step closer towards sealing an elusive Egyptian Premier League title after easing to a 3-0 victory over already-relegated Damanhour on Wednesday.
A first-half goal from Ahmed Eid and further strikes from Ayman Hefni and Tarek Hamed sealed the home win at Petrosport Stadium for Jesualdo Ferreira’s men.
Zamalek cemented their position on top of the table with 73 points, nine clear of second-placed ENPPI, who played four games more, and nine ahead of defending champions Ahly who played an extra match.
The White Knights, who look formidable this season after signing more than a dozen players last summer, need 13 more points to win the title for the first time since 2004.
