The match between Zamalek and Petrojet in the 14th round of the Egyptian League ended in a positive draw with a goal for each team at Al-Salam Stadium.
The first half witnessed a great refereeing controversy in light of Zamalek’s demand for 3 penalty kicks, which referee Nader Qamar El-Dawla refused to award to coach Jose Peseiro’s squad.
The match remained in a goalless draw until the 90th minute, and during the last quarter of an hour, Zamalek wasted more than one dangerous opportunity, and the source of constant danger was Ahmed Sayed Zizo.
While Zamalek was pressing to score the winning goal, it was surprised by an ideal attack by Petrojet that resulted in an unexpected goal through Mustafa El-Gamal.
The Petroleum Club celebrated this goal wildly, and everyone thought that the match was over, but Nasser Mansi succeeded in scoring the equalizer for Zamalek a few seconds later.
In the last moments of stoppage time, Ahmed Sayed Zizo suffered an injury that forced him off the pitch, leaving his position in the summit next week against Al-Ahly unknown.
There is no doubt that the draw is disappointing for Zamalek, as it brought them to 27 points, and thus if Al-Ahly wins over Ismaily, the difference with the White Castle will become 5 points before the derby.
