Ahly came back from behind to down a 10-man El-Entag El-Harby 3-1, with summer-signing Moussa Yedan scoring a goal and setting up another in the Egyptian Premier League on Thursday.
Up-and-coming striker Amr Gamal cancelled out Entag forward Bassem Morsy’s surprise sixth minute opener four minutes from the half-hour mark before Burkina Faso’s Yedan marked his full debut with a magnificent volley to put his side in front.

Entag, who were second from bottom ahead of the game, had to play for more than the second half with a man down when striker Morsy was dismissed in the 40th minute for a second bookable offence.
