Al-Ahly defeats Ceramica Cleopatra 1-0 in Egyptian Premier League
Cairo - Saba:
Al-Ahly defeated Ceramica Cleopatra 1-0 in an Egyptian Premier League match played on Tuesday.
The lone goal was scored by Moroccan winger Achraf Bencharki in the 20th minute. This victory extends Al-Ahly's winning streak to four games, putting them at 52 points, five points ahead of Pyramids FC.
Ceramica Cleopatra remains in sixth place with 31 points after this loss, following a previous draw with Zamalek.
Al-Ahly is currently awaiting a decision from the Egyptian Football Association's Appeals Committee on Thursday regarding a potential three-point deduction due to their withdrawal from a match against Zamalek in March.
However, the Egyptian Professional Clubs Association had initially decided against this deduction, a decision which Pyramids FC and Zamalek FC have appealed.
