Zamalek rolled on with another win, this time seeing off Al-Muqawloon Al-Arab in the Egyptian league.<\/p>\n
The White Knights edged a 2-1 victory in Wednesday’s clash between the two sides, played in the eighth round of the league stage.<\/p>\n
Youngster Mohamed Hamad broke the deadlock in the 46th minute, turning a low cross from Palestinian Oday Dabbagh into the net.<\/p>\n
Al-Muqawloon Al-Arab hit back quickly. In the 57th minute, Mohamed Abdelnasser lashed a powerful left-footed strike from inside the box that clipped Omar Gaber’s foot and nestled into the net.<\/p>\n
Up stepped Angolan winger Shiko Banza to snatch the winner in the 88th minute. Hamad slipped him the ball inside the box, and he buried it with his left foot.<\/p>\n
That makes it four wins on the bounce across all competitions for Zamalek. Their last defeat came against Al-Ahly, who beat them 2-0 in the sixth round of the Egyptian league on 11 October.<\/p>\n
Since then, the White Knights have knocked out Rwanda’s Army side home and away in the African Champions League round of 32, and beaten Petrol Assiut and Al-Muqawloon Al-Arab in the league.<\/p>\n
The result lifts Zamalek to 19 points, second in the table and two points behind leaders Pyramids. They sit two clear of third-placed Al-Ahly, though they have played a game more.<\/p>\n
Al-Muqawloon Al-Arab, meanwhile, slipped to a third league defeat this season. They stay on 11 points, seventh in the table.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Zamalek rolled on with another win, this time seeing off Al-Muqawloon Al-Arab in the Egyptian league.
