Zamalek once again lacked spark in the final third, settling for a second straight 0-0 draw after failing to break down Ismaily in the Egyptian Premier League on Wednesday.
Chances were at a premium in a dour match as Zamalek drew for the second time in five matches under new coach Augusto Inacio.
Zamalek remains third in the table with 48 points, four ahead of Alexandria-based club Smouha who have a game in hand.
Fifth-placed Masry has 43 points with two matches in hand on Zamalek as the race for the third spot which qualifies for the African Confederation Cup heats up.
