Our new manager Pitso Mosimane’s era started with a victory as the Red Eagles defeated Al Mokawloon Al Arab SC 1-0 on Sunday in the 31th round of the Egyptian Premier League at Cairo International stadium.

The Eagles showed a different character and Mosimane’s strategy started to pay off as the team focused on building up from the back and counted on shooting on the opponent’s goal.

Our starting goalkeeper Mohamed El Shenawy was forced to leave the pitch as he sustained an adductor muscle injury and he was replaced by Ali Lotfy.

Amr El Solia gave us the lead after 40 minutes from the penalty spot as the game referee Gehad Grisha awarded Kahraba a penalty after being tackled in the box.

In the 72nd minute, Grisha disallowed a penalty awarded to Al Mokawloon after checking VAR.

Al Ahly reached 82 points to extend the lead atop of the table, after already securing the league title.
