Petrojet coach Mokhtar Mokhtar is determined not to widen the three-point gap with Egyptian league leaders Ahli. Ahli ended a five-match winning streak with an unexpected 2-2 draw with strugglers Gaish on Saturday, much to the advantage of second-placed Petrojet. "We have to keep pace with Ahli, we can't afford to widen the gap more than that," former Ahli star Mokhtar told FilGoal.com. "This means we must beat Harras Hodoud in our next game." Petrojet will clash with the in-form Hodoud on Thursday as the latter face ENPPI in the Egyptian Cup final tonight.
