Karim Fouad starred, scored two goals and contributed to two additional goals to lead Al-Ahly to win 4-1 over the Interior and achieve his third consecutive victory in the Egyptian Premier League football on Wednesday.
Al-Ahly increased its score to nine points, sharing the summit with the Alexandrian Federation on an equal number of goals and points, while the interior balance remained at one point in 16th position.
At the second minute, Mohamed Sharif scored after Fouad sent a cross around teammate Reda El-Sayed. Four minutes later, Fouad shot a pass with his left foot, the goalie responded, and Hamdi Fathi came to the second goal. Fouad used to play in the back of the defence but started the game as a wing.
In the 13th minute, Vanom Alfred, who had received a rebound from goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shennawi, cut the margin in half.
After playing as a stand-in for the local Super Cup on Friday, Fouad scored a goal against Zamalek during the second half. His first goal came in the 48th minute when he received a beautiful ball from Mohamed Magdy (Qafsha) that made him stand out to the goalie and into the back of the net.
Five minutes later, Fouad got a feed from Qafsha again and made a close-range, one-touch shot with his right foot that went in the goal.
After receiving a ball, seeking a pass to himself, and then skillfully firing inside the goal, Fouad nearly extended his creative streak and scored a hat trick, but the assistant video decision nullified the goal due to infiltration by a tiny difference.
Al-Ahly wins by four after Fouad shines and captains them in the Egyptian League.
