Sayed Abdelhafiz, Al Ahly’s director of football, stated that the team has achieved an important win and that they will go into the domestic competitions break in a perfect position after achieving 18 points from the opening six matches.

“We achieved an important win today against a strong side. We missed a penalty early in the game but managed to secure a 2-0 lead in the first half. We had much confidence and played a better game in the second half.”

“Several players had the chance to play today and put on a good performance like Ahmed Abdelkader, Karim Fouad and Ammar Hamdy. All the players will get their chance this season.”
