Al-Ahly pip Zamalek to claim 41st Egyptian title

Al-Ahly got their hands on the Egyptian Premier League title after a 3-1 defeat of Arab Contractors on Wednesday night.

Ali Maaloul opened the scoring for the visitors in the 26th minute, before a brace from Hussein El Shahat, in the 63rd and 71st minutes, took the Red Devils into a 3-0 lead at the Arab Contractors Stadium. A Seifeddine Jaziri strike in the 91st minute handed the hosts a late consolation.

Martin Lasarte’s side went into the penultimate game week needing to win one of their last two fixtures to secure the crown, which they did at the first attempt.
