Al Ahly look set to retain their Egyptian Premier League title after scoring a late equaliser to claim a 2-2 draw against bitter rivals Zamalek on Wednesday night in a match that was almost called-off by the referee as tensions threatened to boil over.<\/p>\n

The result means Ahly maintain their five-point advantage over Zamalek with just three games of the season remaining and it is hard to see how they will give up their seventh-straight title now.<\/p>\n

It might have been different though has Zamalek held on for the win, but they could not hold onto the lead in what was a tense match, which at times threatened to boil over into another embarrassing episode for Egyptian football.<\/p>\n

The White Knights took the lead after an own-goal from Ahly\u2019s Sherif Abdul-Fadil, but the Red Devils hit back through striker Geddo. Hussein Yasser netted a beauty to restore Zamalek\u2019s advantage, but Dominique da Silva scored seven minutes from time to earn a vital point for Ahly.<\/p>\n

But as is often the case, Zamalek coach Hossam Hassan was then the catalyst for some ugly scenes as he protested the equaliser with Dutch referee Kevin Blom.<\/p>\n

He claimed that play should have been stopped with two Zamalek plays down injured, but the referee was correct in waving play-on, especially as Zamalek players had been falling to the ground under minimal contact all evening.<\/p>\n

The game was stopped for almost 10 minutes while chaos ensued and the referee at one stage threatened to call the game off, before relative clam was restored.<\/p>\n

There was still time for one last nasty incident though as Ahly\u2019s Hossam Ashour received a straight red card for hitting Zamalek\u2019s Hani Said in the face, an unsporting end to what was often an unsporting contest.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/p>\n
