Zamalek SC beat Petrojet 2-1 in the Premier League, with goals from Hossam Ashraf and Mohamed El Sayed proving decisive despite a late Petrojet strike. The win came even though Petrojet dominated much of the attacking play.
Hossam Ashraf put Zamalek ahead in the 40th minute after a Chico Banza assist, and Mohamed El Sayed doubled the lead in the 63rd minute from an Oday Dabbagh pass. Petrojet pulled one back in the 90th minute but could not find an equaliser. Adham Hamed, Badr Moussa and Mahmoud Hamdi were all booked in the first half.
Petrojet had 23 shots to Zamalek's 12 and an expected goals total of 2.65 against 0.72, yet Zamalek were clinical enough to take the points. Zamalek's goalkeeper made three saves while Petrojet's made two, and possession was almost even at 51-49.
