Mohamed Abou-Treika scored the winner on 43 minutes when he latched onto a Dominique Da Silva pass before dribbling a couple of challengers and slotting home with a left-footed effort.

The game saw a player sent off from each side.

Hodoud forward Ahmed Eid was dismissed following a row with Ahli's Mohamed Shawky.

Minutes later, Amir Sayoud received his marching orders for a harsh off-ball challenge on Mohamed Al-Herda.

Ahli won their previous two friendlies 4-1 and 2-1 over Tersana and Wadi Degla respectively.
