Zamalek registered an easy 2-0 victory over Petrojet in the Egyptian League on Sunday to snatch the top spot for the first time this season.



Egypt forward Amr Zaki fired past keeper Ahmed Fawzi midway through the first-half to score his second successive goal for Zamalek.

Fellow striker Abdul-Halim Ali ended his goal-drought and sealed the win just three minutes from the break
The home side grabbed the lead in the 28th minute after several passes in the midfield ended at Tamer Abdul-Hamid just before Petrojet's area.

Tamer Abdul-Hamid slipped a defense-splitting pass to the darting Amr Zakiwho outpaced marker Abdul-Hadi and sent a first-time bullet into the back of the net.



Two minutes later, Mahmoud Abdul-Hakim headed past Zamalek keeper Mohamed Abdul-Monsef but he was flagged for offside.

In the 42nd minute, Waleed Abdul-Latif went face-to-face with Fawzi but instead of shooting, he crossed to the unchallenged Abdul-Halim Ali who enjoyed an easy tap-in.



Petrojet coach Mokhtar Mokhtar fielded veteran strikers Alaa Ibrahim and Khaled Bibo after the break in a bid to narrow the gap but Zamalek managed to hold on to their victory.
