Al Ahly 4-1 Maqassa | Match Highlights
A double from red-hot striker Mohamed Sherif gave Ahly an impressive 4-1 comeback victory over Maqassa for their third straight Egyptian Premier League win on Sunday, less than a week before the anticipated African Champions League final.
Ahmed Moudi gave Maqassa a surprise lead after converting a penalty in the first half but Sherif equalised a few minutes later before adding a second with another poacher’s effort two minutes past the hour mark.
He took his tally to 14 league goals this season, just one behind leading scorer Ahmed Yasser Rayyan, who plays for promoted Ceramica Cleopatra.

An own goal from Mohamed Desouki increased the gap and playmaker Magdi Afsha put the icing on the cake with a sublime effort in stoppage time, catching the keeper off position with a shot from the halfway line.
Ahly closed to within 10 points of leaders Zamalek with four games in hand. Should they win their rescheduled matches, they will overtake their perennial rivals with a two-point lead on top.
