Zamalek Football Club returned to winning form with a convincing 3-0 victory over Enppi, during their match held at the Arab Contractors Stadium on March 4, 2025, as part of the 17th round of the Egyptian Premier League. The match kickoff was scheduled for 9:00 PM local time.
After their struggle to find form, this win was particularly important for Zamalek, who were vying not only to please their fans but also to improve their standings on the league table. Coming off the back of mixed results, including three draws, the team was eager to demonstrate their might on the pitch.
Throughout the match, Zamalek displayed solid attacking play. The star of the night was Abdullah Al-Saeed, who initiated the scoring with a penalty kick at the 53rd minute after the referee adjudicated a handball by Enppi's defender, Khaled Ahmed. The forward scored with confidence, propelling his team momentarily to lead the game.
Following Al-Saeed's opener, Nasser Mansi showcased his sharpness by adding the second goal just 13 minutes later. Securing the ball after receiving a fine cross from Moroccan player Mahmoud Bentaiek, Mansi elegantly directed his header past the Enppi goalkeeper, doubling Zamalek's advantage to 2-0.
With the match approaching its conclusion, Al-Saeed sealed the night with his second goal, scored deep in stoppage time at 90+4 minutes, driving home the final nail for Enppi, who struggled to mount any serious threats throughout the game.
This result improved Zamalek's points tally to 32, solidifying their position as contenders near the top of the league table, landing them now comfortably at third place. Meanwhile, Enppi's continued struggles left them mired within the relegation zone, still stuck with only 12 points after 16 matches, raising concerns about their chances of avoiding the drop.
Statistics from the match reflected Zamalek’s dominance. The team, which is now fourth on the league table, managed to maintain 61% possession, illustrating their control over the game. They attempted multiple shots on goal, totaling 16 overall attempts, with 7 of those significantly testing Enppi's goalkeeper.
Enppi had their own struggles as well. With only 2 wins to their name so far this season, they couldn't afford this loss if they were to climb out of their precarious position. Their defense, which has leaked several goals across the season, once again fell short against Zamalek's effective attack.
This match not only highlights Zamalek's resurgence but also the struggles faced by lower-table teams like Enppi this season. Current coaching strategies and squad morale are now under scrutiny, and both teams will need to adapt swiftly as the league progresses.
Following this match, Zamalek will be turning their focus to upcoming fixtures, gunning to maintain momentum and push for the top tier of the Egyptian Premier League standings. Their supporters, buoyed by the impressive performance, will hope for continued success as the season progresses.
