About his closest pursuer, Nigerian player John Ipoka, striker for Enppi.

This difference between the leader “Zizou” and second-placed Ipoka confirms the guarantee that the Zamalek player won the league’s top scorer title for this season, to return the title to the white team after an absence of 18 years, and the last time the top scorer title went to one of the Zamalek players, in the 2003-2004 season was won by Abdel Halim Ali, who scored 21 goals at the time.

Zamalek outperformed Egypt for clearing by five clean, on Tuesday, in the 30th round of the Premier League, including three “hat-trick” goals by Zizou’s feet, which enabled him to tighten control over the top scorer title, especially as he succeeded in scoring for the third match in a row, where he scored two goals against El Gouna In a match in which his team won four goals against a goal, in the 29th round of the league, and before that he scored a goal in a match in which Zamalek beat Pyramids by three clear goals, in the 28th round.

Although Zizou’s “hat-trick” was not the first this season in the league championship, he was preceded by Nasser Maher, a player of the Future team, and scored three goals against Smouha in the 13th round of the current league, but the “hat-trick” is the first for a Zamalek player in The league since the (2018-2019) season, when Mahmoud Alaa, the defender of Zamalek, scored three goals against Tala’a El-Jaish.
