ZED extended their impressive form in the Egyptian Premier League with a 2-1 victory over Pharco FC on Friday, marking another crucial win in the ongoing fifth round of the competition.
This victory follows their commanding 2-0 triumph against Haras El Hedood in their previous match and keeps them within striking distance of the league’s top positions.
Playing away from home, ZED took an early lead just eight minutes into the game through Banouby, who found the back of the net to give the visitors a dream start.
Pharco FC, struggling to find consistency this season, managed to draw level in the 35th minute when Sherif struck an equalizer.
However, ZED’s Shady Hussein sealed the victory in the 72nd minute with a decisive goal, ensuring all three points for his side.
This latest result pushes ZED to fourth place in the standings with eight points, leaving them tantalizingly close to the podium.
Pharco FC, on the other hand, sits in eighth place with seven points, reflecting their uneven start to the 2024-2025 campaign.
