Preview: Zamalek's Peseiro seeks 1st win against Enppi in Egyptian League - Egyptian Football
Since Peseiro's appointment on 14 February, Zamalek have failed to win, drawing 1-1 against Petrojet, Ahly, and ZED FC.
'We didn't achieve victory in the last three games, but we played good football, and the performance has improved,' Peseiro told the pre-game press conference.
The team is currently third in the standings with 29 points, 10 behind joint leaders Pyramids FC, and seven adrift of second-placed Ahly.
Enppi, on the other hand, are struggling near the bottom of the table with just 12 points.
'We aim to win against Enppi as Zamalek fights to win all the games,' the Zamalek coach said.
This season, the Egyptian Premier League adopted a single-round format with all 18 clubs competing.
The top nine teams will advance to the title race, while the bottom clubs will fight to avoid relegation.
Zamalek will be without key players, including Ahmed 'Zizo' Sayed and Mohamed Shehata, who are suspended. Tunisian defender Hamza Mathlouthi, Ahmed Hamdi, and Mohamed Abdel-Shafi remain sidelined due to injuries.
'We have more absentees ahead of the Enppi game, and as any coach would want, I hope for the availability of the entire squad to achieve victory. However, I am confident in the performance of the available players,' the Portuguese coach added.
Peseiro will rely on veteran midfielder Abdalla El-Saied and midfielder Nasser Maher, who returns from a three-game suspension, to help secure his first win with the Whites.

Thompson beats Lyles in first 100m head-to-head since Paris Olympics - Omni sports
Jamaica's Kishane Thompson exacted a measure of revenge by beating Olympic champion Noah Lyles over 100m at the Silesia Diamond League meet on Saturday. It was the first time the two sprinters have met since Lyles was awarded Olympic gold in Paris a year ago, just five-thousandths of a second ahead of Thompson. The fast-starting Jamaican timed a joint meet record of 9.87sec for victory in the Polish city of Chorzow, with Lyles second in 9.90sec. Another American, Kenny Bednarek, rounded out the podium in 9.96sec. "It felt alright. My job is to get the job done," said Thompson. The Jamaican, who missed the cut for the 2023 world championships in Budapest, will be one of the favourites for this year's edition in Tokyo on September 13-21. But he downplayed the significance of the result. "Honestly, I compete against myself, no offence to the competition," he said. Lyles put a positive spin on his second place, saying it was a "great stepping stone". "I needed to see a sub-10," the American said. "I needed to see winning, beating people, I took out some really big heads today, people who run 9.7 and 9.8. "I am getting the confidence. It makes me really excited for not only today, but also for next week and Tokyo." Lyles was drawn in lane seven, outside Bednarek and inside Christian Coleman, with Thompson in five and South African Akani Simbine to his left. But it was Thompson who stole the march in hot and humid conditions, rocketing out of his blocks to leave the field in his wake for a true gun-to-tape display. Lyles had the joint slowest reaction of the nine-man line-up and looked to be out of even a podium finish from the start before he came through strongly over the closing 20 metres to pinch second place from Bednarek. Thompson's winning time matched the 9.87sec meet record jointly held by Americans Ronnie Baker and Fred Kerley. It did not quite match the world-leading 9.75sec he set at the Jamaican trials in June, a time which puts him sixth on the all-time list.

Video: Mohamed Salah in tears after Liverpool fans chant Jota's name
Egyptian international and Liverpool FC star Mohamed Salah was left in tears of grief after the Reds fans chanted the name of his late teammate Diogo Jota following the match against Bournemouth in the English Premier League. Salah participated in Liverpool's match against Bournemouth on Friday evening, in the first round of the English Premier League for the 2025-26 season, which ended with the Reds winning 4-2. Mohamed Salah scored the fourth and final goal in the dying seconds, specifically in the 90+4 minute, the Pharaoh celebrated in the manner of his late teammate Diogo Jota. After the match ended, Liverpool fans lit up the stands with chants for the late Portuguese player Jota, who died along with his brother in a tragic car accident in Spain. Record-breaking Salah extended his record as the player with the most goals scored in the opening round of the Premier League (10 goals). He also became the player with the most goals scored (both goals and assists) in Premier League history, at 15. Salah increased his tally at Anfield to 106 goals, making him the second-highest scorer at a single stadium in the history of the competition, equaling Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero's record of 106 goals at the Etihad Stadium. Topping this list is former Arsenal star Thierry Henry, who scored 114 goals at Highbury, the Gunners' former home, now known as the Emirates.
