"From where I was standing, the free-kick that resulted in the first goal wasn't a foul," the Portuguese coach told reporters after the match.

Zamalek were handed their second defeat in the league after losing to Al-Gaish 2-0 at the Military Academy.

"After Al-Gaish scored the opener, the players rushed to attack so we conceded easily the second. We also missed three scoring opportunities" Cajuda added.

Meanwhile, Al-Gaish coach Talaat Youssef was delighted with his team's precious victory.

"We played a great match against a team who are enjoying a good form," he said.

"Our players followed my instructions and approached the game with an attacking mentality."
