The 2026-27 Egyptian Premier League season continues with a highly competitive top tier. Following Al Ahly SC’s 1-0 victory over Smouha SC—secured by a late 87th-minute strike from Yasser Ibrahim—Al Ahly reached 9 points from three matches, sitting second on goal difference behind Pyramids FC. In the fourth round, Zamalek SC moved to the top of the league standings after a 2-0 win against Abu Qir Fertilizers at Cairo International Stadium. Mohamed Ismail opened the scoring in the 18th minute following a cross from Mahmoud Bentayg, bringing Zamalek’s total to 10 points from four matches. As the round concluded, the race for the lead intensified, with Pyramids FC, Al Ahly, and Ceramica Cleopatra all holding 9 points. Ceramica Cleopatra reached that total following a 2-0 victory over Smouha. In a subsequent fourth-round fixture at the Osman Ahmed Osman Stadium, Al Ahly SC played to a 1-1 draw against Al Mokawloon Al Arab. Following these results, Pyramids FC sat at the top of the standings with 12 points, while Zamalek SC and Al Ahly were tied for second with 10 points each. In the fifth round, Al Ahly SC secured a 2-0 victory over Abu Qir Fertilizers at Cairo Stadium with goals from Ahmed ‘Zizo’ Mustafa in the 16th minute and Hussein El Shahat in the 94th minute. This win moved Al Ahly to 13 points, placing them temporarily at the top of the league, ahead of Pyramids FC (12 points) and Zamalek (10 points). Following the match, head coach Hussein Ammouta addressed recent performance fluctuations, attributing them to injuries and squad absences, while dismissing rumors regarding his potential departure from the club. In other fifth-round action, Al Ittihad Alexandria defeated Al Masry 2-0, and Modern Sport secured a 2-0 win against Petrol Asyut to enter the top four.
