The pressure paid off on 23 minutes when Afsha swept home a loose ball from inside the area after a header from Mohsen struck the upright and fell to him. Future's only first-half chance saw Maaloul superbly clear a goal-bound header off the line after a mistake from keeper Mohamed El-Shennawi but Ahly quickly re-asserted their dominance. Abdel-Kader, who replaced Taher, went close with a superb piece of individual skill as he turned Cameroonian left-back Joseph Ngwem inside out on the edge of the area and drilled a low shot against the post.
Ahly keep up league chase with 4-0 drubbing of Future FC - Egyptian Football - SportsMagdi Afsha celebrates one of his two goals against Future FC (Photo: Ahram) The Red Devils, who lost to Smouha and drew with Gouna in their previous two matches, were under pressure to deliver after leaders and main challengers Zamalek defeated Arab Contractors 1-0 earlier in the day. They turned on style to give new coach Ricardo Soares his first league win after he replaced South African boss Pitso Mosimane little less than two weeks ago. A brace from Magdi Afsha and a penalty from Ali Maaloul gave Ahly a 3-0 first-half lead before substitute Ahmed Abdel-Kader completed the rout on 59 minutes. Ahly, who also wasted several clear-cut chances in a one-sided affair, are third in the table on 48 points from 22 matches, two behind second-placed Pyramids FC, who played two games more. Should Ahly win their two matches in hand, they will go level with leaders Zamalek in what is likely to be an exciting two-horse race for the title.
The early stages of the second half were no different, with Ahly in total control. Amr El-Sulaya shot wide after breaking clear but he made amends to set up Abdel-Kader for the fourth goal. Saad Samir, an ex-Ahly defender, gave away possession on the edge of his own area and Afsha pounced on the loose ball to feed El-Sulaya, whose square pass found Abdel-Kader for a composed finish.

Mahalla record biggest ever win over Zamalek after 3-0 victory in EFA Cup - Egyptian Football - SportsAlthough Zamalek missed their international players, who are away on African Nations Cup duty, their starting line-up still boasted some regular players, including defender Mohamed Abdel-Ghani, winger Mohamed Ounajem and striker Omar El-Said. Hesham Adel fired Mahalla in front on 35 minutes with a delightful curling shot from the edge of the area. Abdo Yehia doubled the lead on the stroke of halftime with a composed finish after Adel played him in before completing the rout with a superb looping header following a free kick five minutes from time. Zamalek were indebted to goalkeeper Mohamed Awad for denying Mahalla at least a couple of certain goals.

Ahly deservedly went 2-0 up on 41 minutes when Maaloul sent Gennesh the wrong way from the spot after striker Hossam Hassan was felled by Ngwem following a fine threaded pass from Afsha. The lively playmaker killed off Future's hopes when he netted his second of the night just before half-time, volleying home a first-timer from inside the area after a flick from Hassan put the ball on a plate for him to score.
The White Knights are now virtually out of the race to finish on top of C and reach the semis of the inaugural EFA Cup edition, the third-tier domestic competition, as they could only collect one point from three games.
