Pyramids maintain perfect start as Al Ahly are held again in Egyptian Premier League

Pyramids remain top of the Egyptian Premier League after completing a seventh consecutive victory, while Al Ahly dropped points for the second successive league match after being held to a 3-3 draw by El Qanah.

Pyramids lead the table on 21 points, having won every match so far and conceded no points. Their latest success came in a 4-1 victory away to Tala’ea El Gaish.

Al Ahly had to settle for a point after a six-goal match against El Qanah. The result leaves them facing another setback in the competition after their previous league fixture also failed to produce a win.
