Awuley Quaye inspires Zamalek to win

Awuley Quaye 'Junior' scored twice and dished out an assist to help Zamalek crush Al-Gaish 3-0 at home in the Egyptian League, While Ismaili kept their title hopes alive after beating Petrojet 2-1 on Friday.

The Ghanaian playmaker inspired Zamalek to another win after scoring a decisive last-gasp goal to lead Zamalek to a narrow 2-1 win over Petrojet on Monday.

The victory kept Zamalek in third place of the league table with 39 points while Al-Gaish lie seventh on 27 points.

Junior put the hosts ahead in the 36th minute when he hit a low drive from a free-kick that went through the unorganized wall into the bottom corner of the net.

He doubled the lead just before the break when he scuffed a loose ball after a poor clearance by Al-Gaish keeper Gharib Hafez from Osama Hassan's free-kick before poking home into the empty net.

Gaafar ensured the victory 12 minutes after the interval after he latched on to Junior's through pass before firing a powerful shot into the top corner of the net.
