Unstoppable Al Ahly beat Zamalek 2-0 | Full Highlights & Goals | VIDEO
Al Ahly maintained a nine-year unbeaten run in the Egyptian Premier League against arch rivals Zamalek after claiming a thoroughly deserved 2-0 Cairo derby win at Petro Sport Stadium on Thursday.
Moemen Zakareya once again haunted his ex club to put Ahly in front midway through the first half before Nigerian forward Junior Ajayi made an immediate impact after coming on as a substitute to head home a second in stoppage time and spark wild celebrations among the hundreds of fans who were allowed to attend the match.
Ahly, who lost to Zamalek in two consecutive Egypt Cup finals, kept a stranglehold on the derby in the premier domestic competition, having been last beaten in 2007 when they had already wrapped up the title.
The victory extends the lead of leaders Ahly over perennial rivals Zamalek, who are third, to 11 points but the latter still have two matches in hand.
Zamalek tasted their first defeat of the season while Ahly remained unbeaten in 17 matches.
Both sides will not play any games until they meet again in the Egypt Super Cup in February as the league will stop for more than a month due to Egypt’s participation in the Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon.
