Zamalek are one step away from retaining the Egyptian Premier League title following a difficult 1-0 win over Farco on Friday.
Defender Hossam Abdel Meguid scored an early goal from a header following a corner kick in the eighth minute. The victory raised Zamalek’s balance to 75 points, expanding the points difference between its closest rivals, the Pyramids team, by 10 points.
Zamalek is scheduled to play its next match once morest Al Ittihad of Alexandria, next Tuesday, in the thirty-second round of the Egyptian Premier League.
In the event that Pyramids beat Smouha, the points difference will be 7 points in favor of Zamalek, meaning that Zamalek needs to win one match out of the remaining three rounds in the life of the championship to be officially crowned the champion of the current season.
In the event of a loss to Pyramids, Zamalek will have decided the league championship before playing the remaining three matches.
The last case is a Pyramids draw, and Zamalek will need one point in 3 matches.
