Ahmed Zaghloul scored late in the second period to give Ittihad Alexandria a precious 2-1 league victory over Telecom Egypt on Saturday.

Zaghloul powered a header home after a fine cross three minutes from time.

Reda Metwalli gave Ittihad the lead in the 25th minute, beating goalkeeper Amir Tawfeeq after a deft through pass from Ibrahim Al-Shayeb.

Ahmed Gaafar equalized in the 71st minute when he converted a first-timer home, capitalizing on a poor clearance from Ittihad defense.

Ittihad now have four points, while Telecom Egypt's tally stopped at six.
