The curtain fell nearly a year (364 days) on the longest version of the history of the Egyptian football league since its inception in 1948 with the victory of the hero Al Ahly over his opponent and of Zamalek 1-0 at Alclbadico 118 Sunday at the Army Stadium in Burj Al Arab and postponed to the 34th.
Tunisian international defender Ali Maaloul scored the only goal in the 59th minute, bringing his team's lead to 80 points, while Zamalek had 72 points.
The match was the result of Ahli's victory in the fourth title of the second and 41 of his history last Wednesday, beating the Arab Contractors 3-0.
The first half was technically average and showed that the players were affected by the general stress of the season and by the lack of physical fitness of most of them due to their return from the long suspension period that lasted nearly 50 days due to the organization by Egypt of the 32nd edition of the Africa Cup of Nations.
Al-Ahli began the attack to try to achieve a quick goal, taking advantage of the decline of Zamalek players to defend themselves, but the spacing of the lines and individual players of Ahli and criticism , including bilateral, Ramadan Sobhi and Hussein Al-Shahat, have allowed Zamalek to favor favorite players over time. But he touched the ball in the eighth minute.
The control of the Whites continued thanks to the movements of Mohamed Ibrahim Hbadan, Mohamed El Sayed Zizou and Tunisian Tamerat Fergany Sbadi, but without any real effectiveness in the net.
Zamalek coach Khalid Jalal changed urgently in the 39th minute with Mahmoud Hamdi's "Al-Wensh" replacing Mahmoud Alaa.
The match was limited in the middle of the stadium and both goals were not offensive to calm him down completely. The same state of the stadiums was released after the obligatory presence of 30 supporters for each club in a stadium of nine to 80,000 spectators.
Al-Saeed missed a golden opportunity to give Zamalek the lead early in the second half when he pulled out Al-Shennawi's center in the 47th minute.
Maaloul managed to open the scoring with Zamalek goalkeeper Emad Al Sayed's free kick in the 50th minute.
Zamalek almost equalized after a counter-attack two minutes later, while Mohamed Ibrahim Alshnawi was alone, but gave a weak blow saved by the latter.
Substitute Saleh Jumaa missed the opportunity to revive when he received a shot from Subhi Ramadan after a counter-attack that followed the free-kick to the left.
