Zamalek secured their 15th Egyptian Premier League title following a 1-0 victory over Ceramica Cleopatra on Wednesday, rebounding from their recent African Confederation Cup final disappointment.
Heading into the final round, three teams remained in contention, but Zamalek required only a point to clinch the title regardless of other results.
