Crossbar Conundrum: Zamalek's Near-Scorpion Kick vs Petrojet
28 January 2026
The White faced Petrojet in the Egyptian Premier League.
The crossbar denied Zamalek's star, Adam Kaid, from scoring a spectacular goal during the match against Petrojet.
In the fifth minute of stoppage time in the first half, Mohamed Ibrahim delivered a cross that found Adam Kaid sprinting behind the defense, who attempted the famed scorpion kick, but the ball flew straight into the bar.
Kaid stood stunned, visibly shaken, as the moment slipped away.
The first half ended with Zamalek leading 2-0, Ady Al-Dabag opening the scoring in the 21st minute, followed by Hossam Abdel Megid's penalty in the 39th.
Punchline 1: Even the crossbar filed a complaint to the goalkeeper union for excessive physics.
Punchline 2: Kaid will remember this moment as the day gravity won the match.
