The visitors capitalized on their Alexandrian neighbors' recurring defensive lapses to score on 53 and 70 minutes.

Cameroonian ace Otobong opened the scoring after he ran unmarked to latch onto a long pass and slide home from close range.

He doubled the lead when he beat the offside trap and once again went one-on-one with the goalie to score with aplomb.

Now Ittihad lie 11th in the league table on nine points while Hodoud are right behind them with as many points.
