Zamalek returned to the path of victories and won 1-0 against Ceramica Cleopatra, to win fourth place in the Egyptian Premier League on Wednesday.
Zamalek achieved its first victory with its new Colombian coach, Juan Carlos Osorio, after a draw with the Arab Contractors in the last match, to raise its score to 43 points from 25 matches, to occupy fourth place and lag behind Pyramids, third in the standings, who played one less match, by three points.
Saif Al-Din Al-Jaziri scored the only goal of the match after 11 minutes with a header, after turning Ahmed Sayed Zizou’s cross into the net.
Mohamed Adel almost equalized for Ceramica in the 34th minute, after he hit a ball from close range that passed near the right post.
Youssef Osama Nabih was close to adding the second goal for Zamalek seven minutes after the break, after he converted Sayed Abdullah (Neymar)’s cross and shot from close range, but Mohamed Bassam, the goalkeeper of Ceramica, successfully saved the ball.
Mohamed Metwally (Canaria) missed another opportunity for Ceramica after he shot inside the penalty area, but goalkeeper Mohamed Sobhi pushed the ball away.
Ceramica Cleopatra’s balance stopped at 30 points, in 11th place.
Vanguards of the Army revived its hopes of staying in the Egyptian league, after it achieved its first victory in 2023, beating Ghazl El Mahalla 1-0.
Vanguards of the Army, ranked 17th and penultimate, raised its tally to 21 points from 24 matches, four points behind the safety zone, as Al-Dakhiliya occupies 15th place, but it played two more matches.
Paul Julius gave Al-Tale’a a goal six minutes into the match, after a pass from Mohamed Sharif Hathout.
This goal was enough for Vanguards to achieve its fourth victory in the league this season, but it was the first victory since its victory over Al-Ahly Bank on December 20 last year.
El-Mahalla’s balance, which received the fourth consecutive loss, froze at 30 points in 12th place, six points away from the relegation zone.
Al-Ahly leads the league with 53 points from 21 matches, four points behind the second-placed Future, who played 25 matches.
