The match comes as part of the Reds’ preparations for the crunch Champions League encounter against Zamalek on July 22.

Promising midfielder Trezeguet, who was a surprise inclusion in Hossam Al-Badri’s African roster, scored the winner in the 86th minute with a ‘rocketing effort’, according to Ahli’s website.

Friday's game witnessed the return of Ahli's defense star Wael Gomaa, who has been out for several weeks with a calf injury.

The match was played away from Ahli’s main training ground in Al-Gezira, following Thursday’s protests by some angry fans.
