Al Ahly trashed EL Gouna 4-0 | Walid Soliman hat-trick hero
Walid Soliman netted his first-ever career hat-trick to fire Ahly to a crushing 4-0 victory against Gouna on Monday.
Full time: Gouna 0-4 Ahly
Goals by: Walid Soliman 10, 42, 49, Hussein El-Shahat 88
Walid Soliman, who will turn 35 in December, scored on minutes 10, 42 and 49 while Hussein El-Shahat completed the rout in the 88th minute to extend Ahly’s perfect start of the season.
Swiss coach Rene Weiler enjoys a flying start of his career with the Cairo giants as he matches the record of seven-game winning start by iconic coach Manuel Jose in 2004.
Weiler had to rotate his team for this game due to injuries and his will to give inspirational forward Ramadan Sobhi some rest after his participation in the U23 Africa Cup of Nations over the past two weeks.

The Red Devils produced a brilliant display of fluid attacking football in that second half and El-Shahat managed to get on the score sheet when he came at the end of a precise low cross from second-half substitute Walid Azaro to slot the fourth just before the final whistle.
Ahly have moved temporarily to the top of the table with 12 points, and they still have a game in hand.
