Arab Contractors Secure Vital Win Against Zamalek
On Monday, July 29, 2024, Arab Contractors pulled off a significant 2-1 victory against Zamalek, offering a glimmer of hope in their battle against relegation. The win moves them closer to escaping the bottom three in the Egyptian Premier League, sitting now at 24 points, six points behind Pharco FC, with only four games remaining.
Salem and Antar Lead Arab Contractors to Victory
Arab Contractors’ triumph was marked by goals from Mohamed Salem and Mohamed Antar. In the first half, Salem took advantage of a defensive error by Zamalek’s Ahmed Refai, skillfully rounding the keeper to score. In the second half, Antar’s solo effort from 25 yards out sealed their lead with a powerful shot into the bottom corner.
Zamalek, who fielded a second-string team, managed a consolation goal through Seifeddine Jaziri in the 62nd minute but couldn’t find an equalizer despite dominating possession and pressuring Arab Contractors’ defense throughout the match.
Zamalek’s Struggles Continue
This loss leaves Zamalek fifth in the league standings with 46 points. The team’s performance has been inconsistent, and their inability to break through Arab Contractors’ defensive setup highlights ongoing challenges. Despite early pressure and possession dominance, Zamalek’s attack lacked the cutting edge needed to secure a win.
Arab Contractors’ victory is a testament to their resilience and determination to stay in the top flight. With four crucial matches left, every point will be vital in their fight for survival in the Egyptian Premier League.
