Our head coach Pitso Mosimane stated that Al Ahly achieved what we wanted from the match after securing the three points against a tough opponent, who was able to create different scoring chances. 

“It was a difficult match and it became more difficult after losing the last match to Simba.”

“The players fought during the match and scored two goals to secure the three points.” 

“We need big players to step up in the big matches and that is what happened today from Mohamed El Shenawy. He always delivers when the team needs him.”

“Ajayi is one of the key players in the team. He just returned from an injury, but he managed to score our two goals in the match.”

“We pushed forward to score and I decided to add more strikers. Also, I was aware of the players who were booked when I made the substitutions.” 

“Taher Mohamed Taher and Hussein El Shahat had returned tonight after missing Simba’s match and we were able to play more on the wings.”

“I trust all my players, in particular Hamdy Fathy, Amr El Soulia, and Aliou Dieng.”
