Zamalek bleeds more points against El Dakhleya | VIDEO

Zamalek’s fast-fading title hopes have been further dented after failing to overcome a plucky Dakhleya side to play out a scoreless draw in the Egyptian Premier League on Thursday.

Playing at Petrosport Stadium, Zamalek were even lucky not to emerge on the losing side, after a legitimate second-half free-kick goal from Dakhleya’s Islam Abdel-Naeim was wrongly disallowed by the referee.

Egyptian League holders Zamalek, who came into the game nine points adrift of leaders Ahly, will be hoping their arch-rivals stumble against ENPPI on Friday as the Whites’ title hopes have all but faded with 11 games left.

The Whites – who suffered their second successive league defeat after being beaten by Ismaily 1-0 last week – are currently second on 42 points, while Dakhleya are sixth on 37.
