Victories for Cairo giants as Egyptian Premier League kicks off
Egyptian Premier League new season (2020-21) kicked off last weekend with Match Day 1 fixtures that witnessed just one home victory in nine games.
Defending Champions and 2019-20 CAF Champions League holders Al Ahly were the only home side to grab a win at the new season debut.
The Red Devils who finished last season with a remarkable Egyptian League, Cup and CAF Champions League treble started their campaign with a 3-1 win over Misr El Makassa in Cairo.
Tunisian import Ali Maaloul opened the scoring from the spot, but for Marawan Hamdy to equalize just before the break. Two second half goals from Mahmoud âKahrabaâ Abdel Moneam and Amr El Soleya gave Al Ahly, who are looking for a sixth consecutive and 43rd overall league title a boasting start.
