The Moroccan player Zouheir El-Moutaraji shone in the match between the Egyptian club Pharco Football Club and league leaders Al Ahly, scoring a superb goal that helped his team secure a 1-1 draw in the ninth round of the Egyptian Premier League.
El-Moutaraji, who had already scored three times against Al Ahly when playing for Wydad Casablanca (CAF Champions League: 2020 semi-final and 2022 final), returned to haunt the Egyptian giants, this time in the colors of Pharco. He opened the scoring with a precise strike from outside the box that Al Ahly’s goalkeeper, Mohamed El Shenawy, couldn’t stop despite closely tracking the ball’s trajectory (22’). Al Ahly equalized through a penalty kick in stoppage time of the first half.
This result gave Pharco Football Club their 11th point of the season, placing them in ninth position in the standings, while Al Ahly’s top spot is now under threat, depending on the result of Zamalek’s match against Modern FC tomorrow.
