Zamalek SC 2-1 Al Ahly
Travis Mutyaba made his long-awaited Egyptian Premier League debut as Zamalek beat rivals Al Ahly 2-1 on Monday night in Cairo.
Mutyaba came off the bench in the 18th minute to replace forward Ahmed Sayed Zizo who got injured and couldn’t continue with play.
Mutyaba played 72 minutes as a right winger in the affair which is also the fiercest derby in Africa.
Tunisian striker Seifeddine Jaziri scored a brace for Zamalek while second half substitute Ahmed Abdelkader scored for Al Ahly.
Mutyaba had an opportunity to make it 3-1 from a counter attack situation in the stoppage time but his effort missed target by inches.
Full-time. Zamalek 2-1 Al Ahly.
