Al-Ahly 0-0 El Mahalla
Defending champions Al-Ahly dropped more points as they were held to a 0-0 draw by Ghazl El-Mahalla at El-Mahalla Stadium in the fourth round of the league. After three matches, the Cairo giants have already conceded four points.
With the stalemate, Al-Ahly sits fifth with five points, while El-Mahalla climbs to 12th with four points.
Al-Ahly kicked off their season with a 2-2 draw against Modern Sport at Cairo International Stadium, followed by a commanding 4-1 victory over Pharco FC in the second round.
The Cairo giants dominated possession from the start and created multiple chances. Winger Ahmed Sayed “Zizo” tested El-Mahalla’s goalkeeper Amer Amer with a header in the fourth minute, and left winger Mahmoud Hassan Trezeguet’s long-range effort in the eighth was tipped over for a corner.
Tunisian midfielder Mohamed Ali Ben Ramadan and Zizo wasted clear chances in the 18th and 25th minutes, while El-Mahalla’s right winger Mohamed Grendo’s crucial clearance and the post denied Trezeguet later in the match.
