Al Ahly
Wadi Degla
Al Ahly cruised to a comprehensive 3-1 victory over Wadi Degla, establishing their dominance early and never relinquishing control. Mahmoud Trezeguet opened the scoring in the 25th minute before Zizo converted from the penalty spot on the stroke of half-time to give the Red Devils a commanding 2-0 lead at the break. Marwan Otaka added a third in the 67th minute to effectively seal the points, with Wadi Degla's late consolation goal from Zizo proving nothing more than a statistical footnote. The result reinforces Al Ahly's superior quality and extends their positive momentum in the Premier League.
Al Ahly faces a stern test against third-placed Wadi Degla at Cairo International Stadium, with the Red Devils looking to build on their recent CAF Champions League momentum despite sitting 11th in the league. The visitors' impressive form this season poses a genuine threat to Al Ahly's perfect 10-match unbeaten record in this fixture.
