The Egyptian midfielder, who joined the Saudi giants on a six-month loan from Petrojet, was named in the starting eleven and put in a promising performance.

The 24-year-old is yet to make his competitive first appearance with Ahli, but is already gaining in popularity among his new outfit's fans.

After setting up the first couple of goals, scored by Mohamed Eid and Badr Al-Kharashi, Soliman was cheered by Ahli's spectators, who were in awe of his display.

Abdul-Rahim Al-Gizawy and Hussein Al-Absi notched Ahli's third and fourth respectively in the morale-boosting victory.

Soliman is widely expected to form a striking partnership with Saudi ace Malek Moeaz.

He's also tipped to make his competitive Ahli debut on Saturday against Fath in the Prince Faisal bin Fahad Cup, round of 16.
