Al Ahly slams Smouha FC 3-1 | VIDEO REVIEW
Al Ahly bounced�back from a goal down to record a convincing 3-1 away league win at a plucky Smouha side in Alexandria to tighten their grip on the summit.
After falling down to an exquisite Islam Mohareb overhead kick in the first half, midfielder Abdallah El-Said was there to equalise in the 36th minute before adding another goal himself from the spot after the break.
Moemen Zakareya then made sure of victory 12 minutes from time to secure an important win for Ahly in their pursuit of their ninth league triumph in 10 seasons.
The fifth straight win, which marked manager’s Martin Jol’s fourth consecutive victory since he took over in February, cemented Ahly’s position on top of the table as they are now 14 points clear of second-placed Zamalek – who meet Haras El-Hodoud later in the day.
