VIDEO: El Hadary Saves Wadi Degla against Al Ahly
Essam El-Hadary haunted his former club with a string of superb saves as 10-man Ahly stumbled for the third time in four matches after being held to a goalless draw by Wadi Degla in the Egyptian Premier League on Saturday.
The 42-year-old keeper, who made his name in a 12-year spell with Ahly before leaving for Swiss side Sion in an acrimonious manner in 2008, was a rock at the back as the Cairo giants failed to build on their 3-0 victory over Haras El-Hodoud last Tuesday.
The draw left Ahly ninth in the table with 13 points from seven matches, eight behind leaders Maqassa who played three games more. Degla are 13th with nine points from eight games.
