By Sampson Adedeji

After to back to back draws in the Egyptian Premier League, champions, Al-Ahly returned to the winning ways on Wednesday night with a 3- 0 thrashing of lowly rated Al Masr, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The Egyptian giants needed six minutes to open the scoring, with central midfielder Amr El-Sulaya converting a penalty after veteran winger Walid Soliman was tripped by the keeper.

Mahmoud Kahraba, who made a rare start, doubled Ahly's lead in the 57th minute when a miscued shot from Nigeria's Super Eagles striker Junior Ajayi found him to slot home from close range.

Ajayi turned to scorer in impressive fashion in the 73rd minute, netting from almost the halfway line with a first-time effort after the keeper rushed out to poorly clear a long ball before being caught off position.

Al-Ahly now have 76 points in 29 matches with 5 games to end the league season.
