Zamalek came close to taking over the shield of the Egyptian Football League for the second consecutive season, defeating its hosts Farko 1-0 on Friday at the Alexandria Stadium in Stage 31.
Hossam Abdel Majid scored the only goal of the game in the eighth minute to put his team up to 75 points, 7 points clear of their nearest rival, the Pyramids II.
Zamalek will have the opportunity to determine the title on Tuesday when they host Al Ittihad, two rounds before the end of the competition until the title is decided as the white team only needs two points in the remaining three matches.
It is noteworthy that Al-Hilal are looking forward to meeting the champions of the Egyptian League at the opening of the Lusail Stadium in Doha on September 9th.
