Al Ahly claims an easy win over Al Masry in the Egyptian League | VIDEO

Reigning champions Ahly passed an early tough test in the Egyptian Premier League after beating Masry 2-0 in Alexandria on Tuesday for their first victory of the season, thanks to goals from Salif Coulibaly and Walid Azaro.

Malian defender Coulibaly, a summer arrival who is proving a handful for opponents with his aerial prowess, opened the scoring with an early bullet header, less than two weeks after he netted in a vital 1-0 African Champions League win at Botswana’s Township Rollers.

Moroccan marksman Azaro, the league’s top scorer last season with 18 goals, made sure of the win with a 73rd-minute poacher’s goal as Ahly made up for a 1-1 draw against Ismaily in the competition’s opener last week.
