al ahly claim 44th egyptian premier league title

Al Ahly have clinched a record-extending 44th Egyptian League title following their 1-0 triumph away to Smouha on Thursday.

Mohamed Magdy Afsha scored deep into injury time at the Borg El Arab Stadium in Alexandria as the Red Eagles racked up a 20th successive league win (also a new record).

The Red Eagles faced a challenging season, trailing title rivals Pyramids by more than 20 points at one stage, but their incredible run of victories in catch-up fixtures have brought them a second successive championship.

The Cairo giants have now won the Egyptian League title in seven of the past nine seasons, proving their dominance over the domestic competition in Egypt with 44 titles in 65 seasons.

I have a fantastic group of players. They have been great throughout this difficult season. They were amazing and broke so many records, said Al Ahly coach Marcel Koller.
