Mohamed Hany’s 53rd-minute goal gave Al Ahly a 1-0 victory.
Due to their participation with the Egyptian national team ahead of Sunday’s Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) final versus Senegal in Cameroon, the Egyptian giants were without a number of first-choice players.
However, there was some good news ahead of kick-off for the Cairo side when coach Pitso Mosimane tested negative for Covid-19 and took his place in the dugout for the match.
