The only goal of the game was scored by in-form midfielder Abdullah Al-Saied, who hit his third goal in four games.

The match took place behind closed doors at the Air Defense Stadium in Cairo.

Ahli must now hold on to their slender lead when both sides clash in the second leg next week in El Jadida.
