The Egyptian giants were beaten in a competitive warm-up match as they continue their preparations for the new season. Despite the loss, the fixture provided valuable minutes for the squad as they build match fitness and test combinations.
Al Ahly’s next pre-season assignment is a high-profile encounter against FC Barcelona on 19 August.
The Red Devils will look to bounce back from this setback and use the remaining friendlies to fine-tune their squad ahead of the domestic and continental campaigns. Further details on the scorers and team performance are expected to emerge as the club continues its pre-season programme.
