Al Ahly crush Smouha 4-0 | Match Highlights
Goals by: Mohamed Sherif 40, 58, Hussein El-Shahat 42, Ali Maaloul 44 (pen)
Ahly returned to winning ways after two consecutive draws with a swagger, demolishing Smouha 4-0 in Alexandria to continue their pursuit of leaders Zamalek in the Egyptian Premier League on Sunday.
The Red Devils floored Smouha in five first-half minutes, scoring three quick-fire goals shortly before the break through Mohamed Sherif, Hussein El-Shahat and Ali Maaloul (penalty).
Sherif completed his double in the 58th minute to take his tally for the season to 11 goals as Ahly avenged their last-gasp 2-1 loss to Smouha in the reverse league fixture in April.

They also atoned for a disappointing 2-2 draw with Pyramids FC on Thursday, which saw them concede a stoppage-time goal following a dreadful blunder from keeper Mohamed El-Shennawi.
Ahly are second in the table with 45 points, 16 behind perennial Cairo rivals Zamalek, who played six matches more. Should Ahly win their games in hand, they will overtake Zamalek with a two-point lead.
