The Ethiopia striker opened the scoring with a stunning shot before ensuring his side's victory in injury time.

Elsewhere, a dramatic affair took place between newly-promoted Ragaa and Arab Contractors, ending in a 2-2 draw.

Lowly Ragaa took the lead but Egypt youth internationals Mahmoud Ezzat and Ali Fathi turned the game around for the visitors.

The hosts were handed a penalty in injury time but Tamer Moheb's effort was saved by the keeper, only for Ragaa's top-scorer to notch home on the rebound.
