• The defeat was an inconvenient one for the home team, as their visitors leaped above them on the league table

South African striker Fagrie Lakay opened his account for new club Pyramids FC in an Egyptian Premier League match against Zamalek.

While it was a nice personal milestone for him, he did not get to enjoy the result, as they were defeated 3-2. The result was doubly painful in that the visitors leaped above the home side on the log table.

Zamalek moved to second place on 28 points, while Pyramids moved down to third on 26. Al Ahly remains the pace-setters of the league sitting snugly at the top with 31 points after only 11 matches played.
