Currently occupying the second spot on the table with 20 points, Zamalek shares this position with Ahly who were held by Pyramids FC on Sunday
On the other hand, Gouna remains rooted at the bottom of the table with a mere six points to their name.
Nasser Mansi kickstarted Zamalek's dominance with an early goal, heading in a precise assist from winger Ahmed ‘Zizo’ Sayed from within the penalty area just eight minutes into the game.
Gouna's Ahmed Hossam managed to pull one back for his side, nodding in a header from close range to level the score eight minutes before halftime.
The visitors paid for their mistakes in the second half that saw a complete domination from Zamalek.
Tunisian striker Seifeddine Jaziri came off the bench in the 62nd minute only to score one minute later capitalizing on a rebound from the Gouna goalkeeper Mohamed Alaa within the penalty area to restore the Whites' lead.
Abdallah El Said further extended Zamalek's lead by capitalizing on a critical error by the Gouna goalkeeper in the 73rd minute.
The goalkeeper strayed from his area to intercept the ball but inadvertently directed it towards the unmarked Zamalek winger, who promptly dispatched it into the empty net.
In injury time, Jaziri was left alone in the six yards to slot home his second of the night and his team's fourth.
Zamalek's next challenge awaits them against Pyramids FC in the 11th matchday of the Egyptian League on Friday.
