    Defending champions Ahly looked sluggish in a dour first half but managed to get the job done after the break, with two quick-fire goals giving them a 2-0 win over promoted Haras El-Hodoud in the Egyptian Premier League in Alexandria on Friday.<\/p>\n

    Ahly scored from their first effort on goal when a goalkeeping blunder gifted them a 63rd<\/sup>-minute opener. A poor pass from Mosaad Awad, an ex-Ahly guardian, was intercepted by forward Mohamed Salah who made no mistake with a precise shot from the edge of the area.<\/p>\n

    Tunisian left-back Ali Maaloul converted a disputed penalty shortly after to end the match as a contest as the Red Devils claimed a third consecutive league win following an opening 1-1 draw with Ismaily.<\/p>\n

    They moved top with 10 points from four games while Hodoud remained third from bottom with only one point.<\/p>\n

    Ahly’s in-form winger Walid Soliman missed the game due to the death of his uncle and the team struggled for creativity without him, failing to muster a single effort in a first half to forget.<\/p>\n

    Hodoud were also unable to create any goal-scoring chances but grew bolder as the match wore on, pinning Ahly in their own half for long spells.<\/p>\n

    The hosts went close to taking the lead on 54 minutes when a cross-cum-shot from the right found Emam Ashour, whose close-range header went over the bar.<\/p>\n

    They were punished for Awad’s mistake nine minutes later though, with Mohsen’s effort nestling into the far corner of the empty net.<\/p>\n

    Any hopes Hodoud had of restoring party were dashed shortly after when the referee pointed to the spot after Moroccan striker Walid Azaro went down under a soft challenge, with Maaloul firing a powerful penalty home.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
