The hosts moved into the lead when Alaaeldin headed a fine Mohammed Surag cross from the left. Guedes then doubled the lead early in the second session, striking diagonally from left outside of the box. Mitrovic added the team’s third goal as he beat defenders after fetching a Alaaeldin cross.

For Al Nahda, Oloumou latched on to the ball following a defence lapse and later scored on a second attempt after the ball was cut off in front of the goal.
