Al Ahly held to 1-1 draw by ZED FC in Egyptian League

Al Ahly were held to a 1-1 draw by ZED FC in their 20th-round Egyptian Premier League match at the Cairo International Stadium on Saturday.

The Red Eagles dominated possession from the outset, though ZED FC took a surprise lead only ten minutes from the start.

Al Ahly maintained relentless pressure throughout the contest and were rewarded when Trezeguet struck a late equalizer one minute before full time.

The closing stages were defined by a tense battle between Al Ahly's attack and ZED goalkeeper Ali Lotfy, who produced a series of crucial saves to preserve the draw.

Al Ahly were denied a potential winner in the dying moments when a powerful Trezeguet header struck the crossbar.

The second half was interrupted by frequent delays as ZED players required medical attention, drawing complaints of time-wasting from the opposition.

With the result, Al Ahly move to 37 points, while ZED reach 26.
