It started well for Cavin Johnson at the head of Al Ahly. Pitso Mosimane’s assistant won his first game as Red Devils defeated Ghazl El Mahalla (3-0).

The challenge was very big for Johnson as Al Ahly’s head coach Pitso Mosimane was positive for Coronavirus and is in isolation.

But Cavin Johnson earned the victory for the Cairo side thanks to a brace of Mohamed Sherif and a goal from Kahraba.

It is the second win in two games for Al Ahly who sit on top of the Egyptian Premier League.

The 2019/20 CAF Champions league winners arrived in Niamey on Sunday for their CAF Champions league first round clash against AS Sonidep next Wednesday.
