Al Ahly wins after dramatic 2 goals in stoppage time | Highlights

Two stoppage-time goals from Ali Maaloul and substitute Saleh Gomaa helped Ahly move top for the first time this season with 2-0 win over a resolute Ittihad side in the Egyptian Premier League on Tuesday.

Although Ahly struggled to create clear-cut chances as Ittihad defended doggedly, Tunisian left-back Ali Maaloul ended their resistance two minutes into injury time with a powerful volley.

Gomaa, making a rare appearance, added another goal just before the final whistle after some brilliant individual work from Ramadan Sobhi, who is on loan from Huddersfield Town.

The win lifted Ahly to the summit with 55 points, one ahead of title challengers and Cairo nemesis Zamalek who can regain their position on top if they beat Smouha on Wednesday as an exciting race seems to be going down to the wire. Ittihad remain ninth on 32 points.
