Ajayi Secures Egyptian Premier League Glory with Al Ahly: Red Devils Clinch Historic 40th Title

In a triumphant display of football prowess, Junior Ajayi, the newly-inducted Super Eagles forward, secured his second Egyptian Premier League title with Al Ahly on Monday night, marking a historic achievement for the Red Devils. The victory, the team’s third consecutive triumph, solidified their 40th domestic title, an extraordinary milestone attained with six games still to be played.

The decisive moment transpired as Al Masry faced off against Entag El Harby on Monday, resulting in a goalless draw that sealed Al Ahly’s championship glory. This success followed the Red Devils’ earlier 1-0 triumph against ENPPI on Saturday, with Ayman Ashraf’s decisive goal securing their path to victory.

Under the astute leadership of Hossam El-Badry, Al Ahly comfortably occupies the top spot in the league standings, amassing an impressive 75 points. Their dominance is evident as they outshine Ismaily with 53 points, Zamalek with 51 points, and Al Masry with 49 points.

Ajayi, a hopeful contender for Nigeria’s squad in the upcoming 2018 FIFA World Cup in Russia, has emerged as a stalwart contributor to Al Ahly’s success this season. With a remarkable record of eight goals and nine assists in 24 games, Ajayi’s impact on the field has been nothing short of stellar. Since his move from Tunisian club CS Sfaxien in 2016, the former Shooting Stars striker has netted a total of 16 goals in 45 appearances for Al Ahly, leaving an indelible mark on the club’s illustrious history.
