Live : Zamalek v Mahallah | Egyptian Premier League

Match K.O�at�19:45 Cairo�local�time

Zamalek will not go as far as withdrawing from the Egyptian Premier League despite a threat to do so, with outspoken chairman Mortada Mansour stoking tensions with the competition’s referees ahead of Wednesday’s game against modest Ghazl El-Mahalla.

The controversial lawyer, who is widely known for his acid remarks, launched a foul-mouthed tirade against the head of the refereeing committee after his side conceded two penalties and had a player sent off in a surprise 3-2 defeat by Talae El-Geish on Sunday.

It marked the title holders’ first defeat in six games but the result itself was overshadowed by the post-match remarks of Mansour, who said Zamalek would withdraw from the league unless refereeing chief Ahmed Wagih was dismissed.
