El-Entag stops Al Ahly’s winning streak | Egyptian League VIDEO

Ahly conceded their first Egyptian Premier League goal since December as a 1-1 draw with lowly El-Entag El-Harby ended their seven-match winning run on Sunday.

The Red Devils fell behind after El-Entag’s Ethiopian striker Oumed Oukri opened the scoring with a free header on 48 minutes but restored parity three minutes later via a fortuitous goal from Nigerian forward Junior Ajayi.

The defending champions, who are overwhelming favourites to clinch a ninth league title in 10 seasons, looked sluggish throughout but the sudden draw is unlikely to affect their chances of winning the premier domestic competition for a 39th time.

They lead the table with 68 points, eight clear of second-placed Maqassa with eight matches remaining.

Maqassa, this season’s surprise package, proved the only genuine challengers to Ahly on top after the latter’s perennial rivals Zamalek slipped to third following a series of poor results.

El-Entag, who lie 14th in the table, are five points clear of the relegation zone.
