In their last match they recorded a 2-0 shutout win against Ghazl El Mehalla. Percy Tau struck first for Al Ahly in the 17th minute, then Bruno Sávio added another in the 30th minute on a feed from Karim Fouad In the end, Ghazl El Mehalla was frustrated by Al Ahly’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board.

Al Ahly should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches, while 6th placed Al Ittihad is fresh off their 0-1 loss against Coca-Cola. Abdelkabir El Ouadi struck first for Coca-Cola in the 25th minute on a feed from Hadji Barry, and that was all the excitement the two teams could muster In the end, Al Ittihad couldn’t muster any offence and Coca-Cola ran away with the shutout win. Al Ittihad is looking for direction having earned 14 points in their last 10 matches.
