Mahmoud Shikabala, adulated by Zamalek’s fans, produced a display reminiscent of his dazzling best to give the club a convincing 3-0 win over Arab Contractors in the Egyptian Premier League on Saturday.
The talented winger, who was often criticized for failing to live up to his potential, scored and dished out an assist as Zamalek atoned for a disappointing 0-0 draw at Ismaily last week, handing new coach Mohamed Salah his first win following the resignation of Moemen Soliman.
Shikabala’s cross helped Nigerian forward Stanley Ohawuchi open his account in the domestic league, having scored twice in the African Champions League following his summer loan move from Wadi Degla, as Zamalek went to the locker room 1-0 up.
Defensive midfielder Ibrahim Salah netted a rare goal and Shikabala curled home in the space of two minutes late in the second half as Zamalek kept their unbeaten run in seven league games, having been held to two draws.
Shikabala, 30, was substituted in the latter stages after a breathtaking display of footwork, sparking cheers from a small fan contingent that was allowed to attend the match at Cairo’s Petrosport Stadium amid a long-standing crowd ban.
Zamalek, who have four games in hand, moved to sixth place in the table with 17 points. Contractors are 11th on 13 points.
