Al Ahly Striker Junior Ajayi Scores In Cairo Derby Vs Zamalek
Published: December 29, 2016
Nigeria U23 international Junior Ajayi helped Al Ahly register a 2-0 win over Zamalek in the Cairo derby on Thursday evening. Momen Zakaria had opened the scoring with 21 minutes on the clock before the ex-Shooting Stars frontman killed off the game in the 90th minute shortly after he was introduced.
Days leading up to the clash at Petrosport Stadium, the Nigerian was struggling to overcome an ankle injury.
In 11 appearances in the Egyptian Premier League this season, Ajayi has found the back of the net five times, against Ittehad, Entag El Harby, Gaish and El Nasr Tadeen.
He joined the Red Devils in August from Tunisian side CS Sfaxien.
