Pitso Mosimane’s Al Ahly failed to move within a point of Egyptian Premier League leaders Zamalek after playing to a 1-1 draw against El Gouna on Friday evening.
Aliou Dieng and Nasser Maher featured from the start in the home side’s starting line-up following their midweek win over Al-Masry SC.
With the gap to the league leaders Zamalek on four points prior to the match, the Cairo Red Devils of Mosimane while continuing to play catch up needed to hit the ground running in earnest.
Early promise of play from the league holders culminated in a few shots at the opposing number one but Mohamed Sherif and Mahmoud Kahraba in particular lacked decisiveness.
