Zed FC played out a 2-2 draw against Ismaily in the Egyptian Premier League on matchday 17, marking their second consecutive stalemate in the competition.
Congolese international Peter Mutumosi Zilu featured in midfield as Zed FC struggled to secure all three points, despite taking the lead early in the game.
Missed opportunity for Zed FC
Zed FC started strongly and broke the deadlock in the 28th minute.
However, their advantage was short-lived as Ismaily responded with two quick goals in the 34th and 39th minutes, turning the game in their favor.
Despite falling behind, Zed FC continued to push forward and were eventually rewarded with an equalizer in the 76th minute.
However, they were unable to complete the comeback, settling for a draw that prevented them from climbing higher in the league standings.
Second consecutive draw
This result follows another tough draw against Zamalek, one of Egypt’s traditional football powerhouses.
While holding strong opponents reflects Zed FC’s resilience, their inability to secure victories has slowed their progress in the league table.
Currently sitting ninth with 21 points, the team will need to find a way to turn these draws into wins to maintain their ambitions for the season.
Focus shifts to League Cup
With the league on pause, Zed FC will now turn their attention to the Egyptian League Cup, where they face Al Masry on Wednesday, March 19.
The match presents an opportunity to regain momentum before resuming their league campaign in the coming weeks.
As Zed FC searches for consistency, performances like these will need to be transformed into victories if they hope to challenge higher up the table.
