Pitso's Al Ahly Suffer Setback In Title Race
04 May, 2021
Pitso Mosimane's Al Ahly experienced their second defeat of the Egyptian Premier League season after going down 1-0 to Ghazl El Mahalla on Monday night.
The Red Devils seemed to reunite on the winning trail after dropping points against El Gouna over the weekend.
The game have been coming thick and fast for the African champions as they continue steadily to play catch up because of their involvement in the CAF Champions League.
Mosimane's charges nearly got the early goal after just four minutes but Hussein El-Shahat saw his goal-bound effort cleared away.
Despite Al Ahly's early dominance, it had been the Ghazl El Mehalla who broke the deadlock on 35 minutes thanks to Ashraf Mohamed Sayed's strike from distance.
Mosimane threw on several changes in the second half, including Walid Soliman and Mahmoud Walid and Walter Bowalya because they went searching for a equaliser.
However, the Red Devils were not able to find a in the past into the face as the hosts placed on for a vital three points.
Mosimane's remain in second spot but happen to be four points behind fierce rivals Zamalek, although the defending champions still possess two games at hand.
