Ahly's title hopes fade away after El-Gaish draw
Mahmoud Sheleib Published in Ahram Online on 17 - 08 - 2021

Defending Champions Ahly were held to scoreless draw by Talae El-Gaish on Tuesday to lose more ground in the title race trailing four points behind leaders Zamalek with three matches left to play.
Zamalek beat Wadi Degla 1-0 to edge closer to their first league title since 2015 as they have 73 points.
The Red Devils started with their pressing game but were countered by a versatile performance from their mid-table opponents who kept them at bay.
Pisto Mosimane's men dominated posession and had their closest chance cleared from the goal line when defender Eslam Gamal made a tackling clearance to deny Yasser Ibrahim's header.
After the interval Ahly attacked en masse, with Mosimane throwing in all his attacking options forcing El-Gaish to drop back deep into their to area.
Meanwhile the second half witnessed Ahly dominance in addition to many attacking substitutes but was useless at the end, on the other side El-Gaish dropped back in order not to concede goals.
Keeper Mohamed Bassam was forced to make some superb saves to deny a well placed header from Salah Mohsen and a couple of chances from Mohamed "Afsha" Magdi and Hussein El Shahat.
Second half substitutes, Marwan Mohsen, Taher Mohamed Taher and Junior Ajayi couldn't make their presence felt and lacked the cutting edge.
On the other side El Gaish found acres of spaces in Ahly's areas and Mohamed El Shennawi denied Ahmed Samir and Nasser Mansi from one on ones position to avoid his team a third defeat this season.
