Al Ahly coach Martin Lasarte has praised his side’s never-say-die attitude after they claimed their 41st Egyptian Premier League title on Wednesday.
The Red Devils went into the penultimate game week of the season with a five-point advantage over second-placed Zamalek and needed three more points to secure a fourth successive title win.
A brace from Hussein El Shahat after an Ali Maaloul opener carried the giants to a 3-1 success against Arab Contractors on Wednesday night, which confirmed their success. The chasing pack defeated Ismaily 3-1, but the leader’s result means Khaled Galal’s team can’t usurp Lasarte’s troops.
