On Wednesday, Al-Ahly began its career in the Egyptian Premier League football championship with a vital 1 – zero victory against its Ismaili host, in the opening stage of the competition matches, which also saw Pyramids tie 1-1 with its host Enppi.
Al-Ahly owes most of their triumph to substitute player Shadi Hussein, who scored the game’s sole goal in the 73rd minute.
After its player Taher Mohamed Taher was ejected in the third minute of the time counted instead of losing for the second half, Al-Ahly finished the match with 10 players.
Thus, Al-Ahly, who is attempting to reclaim the championship he lost the previous two seasons, gained the first three points of his career this season in the tournament, which holds the record for the most titles won with 42.
Al-Ahly starts his career by defeating Ismaili.
