The Egyptian playmaker, who joined Ahli from Petrojet on loan until the end of the season, needed five minutes to put Ahli in front.

Brazilian midfielder Leandro Sena leveled the score via a 23rd-minute penalty and his compatriot Felipe Campos gave Raed the lead three minutes after the restart.

Ahli striker Hassan Al-Raheb equalized on 63 minutes before Walid Abd-Rabou gave the hosts a precious win nine minutes later.

The victory moved Ahli into third spot in the table with 36 points.

Elsewhere, Hossam Ghaly was unlucky not to score as Nasr succumbed to a 2-1 defeat to Shabab.

A neat header by the Egyptian midfielder was denied by the post in the 37th minute.

He also had a powerful shot blocked by the keeper three minutes before the break.
