The north coast club went eight games without a single victory and had to change coaches two weeks into the season after Mohamed Omar quit.

Mahmoud Sobhi scored a first half double while Sameh Youssef, Mahmoud Shaker and Hussein Fahmi completed the rout with a goal each after the break.

The win moved Ittihad out of the relegation zone to lie in 13th place with 7 points, leading neighbors Harras Al-Hodoud on goal difference.

Aluminum are in 8th place on 11 points.

Al-Hodoud will play Arab Contractors on Friday with a chance to reclaim their place while Al-Baladeya host ENPPI.
