Two Nigerian players lit up Matchday 14 of the Egyptian Women’s Premier League as Zamalek delivered a stunning 6-0 victory over ENPPI.
The win showcased Alice Ogebe and Yetunde Fajobi, who both found the back of the net to help their team secure all three points.
The match began with an own goal gifting Zamalek the lead, followed by Miral doubling the advantage shortly after.
Nigerian international, Alice Ogebe made it 3-0 with a composed finish, while compatriot Yetunde Fajobi stole the show with a brace to extend Zamalek’s dominance.
Zamalek’s Position in the League
Despite their impressive performance, Zamalek remains fifth on the league table with 27 points from 14 games.
They trail league leaders Al Ahly by nine points as the season enters its crucial stages.
Al Ahly’s Dominance and Nigerian Connection
Al Ahly, who boast another Nigerian star, Charity Reuben, continue to set the pace in the league.
With 36 points, they hold a six-point advantage over defending champions FC Masar, who remain in second place.
FC Masar, fresh off a third-place finish at the 2024 CAF Women’s Champions League, are still considered strong contenders to retain their league title.
However, Al Ahly’s consistency and depth, bolstered by Reuben’s contributions, make them favorites to claim the crown this season.
Nigerian Impact in the League
The performances of Nigerian players in the Egyptian Women’s Premier League continue to be a talking point.
Ogebe and Fajobi’s heroics for Zamalek, along with Reuben’s influence at Al Ahly, highlight the growing impact of Nigerian talent in the league.
Their contributions not only elevate their respective teams but also shine a spotlight on the quality of Nigerian players on the international stage.
