Defending champion Zamalek suffered a humiliating 3-0 defeat against its host, Pharco, in the return of its coach, Jesualdo Ferreira, in the Egyptian Premier League, today, Monday.
Shukri Naguib opened Pharco’s goals at Burj Al Arab Stadium in Alexandria after six minutes, before his teammate Amr Gamal strengthened his landowner’s superiority in the 29th minute.
Seif Terry concluded Farko’s goals after a great individual effort in stoppage time.
Zamalek suffered the third loss in the last four matches and the fourth this season, so that its score stopped at 29 points from 17 games, eight points behind Al-Ahly leaders, who played 15 matches and played against Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the Club World Cup on Wednesday evening.
Zamalek fell in front of Al-Ahly and spun Al-Mahalla in two consecutive matches, so that Mortada Mansour, club president, decided to “thank” the Portuguese Ferreira.
Osama Nabih took over training Zamalek and led it to a 2-1 victory over Future, but the club’s management decided to return Ferreira again, less than two weeks after his departure.
Ko, who had only won twice in the first 15 games, scored 19 points and jumped to tenth place.
