Zamalek lose to struggling Telecom
Published in FilGoal on 19 - 05 - 2008

Zamalek's second-place hopes suffered a huge blow as they succumbed to a 3-2 defeat to relegation-threatened Telecom Egypt on Monday.
The Whites' defeat and Ismaili's 1-0 win over Harras Al-Hodoud meant that the Dervishes took over in the runner-up spot after champions Ahli, who drew 0-0 with Gaish.
Mohamed Fadl's winner in Ismailia helped Ismaili level on 53 points with Zamalek, but the Dervishes have a better goal difference.
On the other hand, Telecom's victory boosted their chances of survival, as they jumped to 11th place with 31 points.
Abdul-Aziz Show
Zamalek ended the first half as victors as Gamal Hamza broke the deadlock seven minutes from the break when he skillfully flicked in Osama Hosni's cross.

Abdul-Aati scored, but missed a penalty
However, Telecom made a courageous comeback in the second-half, inspired by a superb performance from Nigerian striker Abdul-Wahed Abdul-Aziz.
Shortly after the break, Abdul-Aziz capitalized on a fatal error by Wissem El-Abdi, who sluggishly lost possession to the Telecom forward.
The through-on-goal Abdul-Aziz fed Magdi Abdul-Aati with a sumptuous pass, only for the latter to hit the empty net.
The on-fire Abdul-Aziz put Telecom in front in the 63rd minute, with a close range tap-in.
The Nigerian then outpaced Ahmed Magdi, who felled him inside the area, giving the referee no option but to point to the spot.
However, Abdul-Wahed Al-Sayed blocked Abdul-Aati's penalty, but Diaa Abdul-Rahman notched in on the rebound in the 70th minute.
Four minutes later, Hamza added his second of the game with a magnificent curling shot from 25 yards out, a contender for goal of the season.
