Ahly manager Mohamed Youssef has expressed his
pleasure at beating Maqassa 4-1 on Sunday, in the postponed game from
Week 11 of the Egyptian Premier League season.
The Cairo giants
urgently needed the win as their qualification for the final
mini-league phase of the domestic competition was under serious threat
after losing four games and drawing two.
Ahly climbed to second place in Group A with 23 points, narrowing the gap with leaders Smouha to three points.
"The victory is important for the team at this stage as we suffered
pressure on the players and luck was against us during previous games,"
Youssef was quoted as saying on the club's official website after the
game.
"We managed to control the game and achieve our target," he added.
The league is divided into two groups of 11 teams each, with Cairo giants Ahly and Zamalek separated.
The winner and runner-up in each group will qualify for a mini-league to decide the champion.
"Our target is to reach the last four to compete for the title," he concluded.
