Al Ahly had a stunning start to the new year with an impressive 3-0 win over Pyramids FC on Monday night to move three points clear at the top of the Egyptian League table.
A brace from Amr El Soulia and an own goal made a night to remember for Al Ahly fans.
First Half
It was obvious from our strong start to the game that our players are ready to return back to the winning ways.
Shady Hussein and Karim Fouad put pressure on the opposition's defense and our midfielders tried to provide the attacking line with passes between the lines.
El Soulia gave us the lead after 19 minutes with a strong shot that went past the goalkeeper of Pyramids FC.
The first half's impressive performance was overshadowed by an injury to Karim who was forced to leave the game to be replaced by Hussein El Shahat.
In the second half, it was a different story as Pyramids FC tried to level the score but faced a well-disciplined defense from our side.
It was Amr El Soulia's night as he doubled the score with a fantastic header and joined his teammates in wild celebrations with our fans.
Our fans were enjoying their night in the stands of Cairo Stadium and El Shahat gave them another beautiful moment when he sent a cross that was deflected by Ahmed Samy, Pyramids' defender, into the net for an own goal.
The players put on a strong performance and deserved a fantastic applause from our fans after the game.
