Cairo giants Ahli are just one point ahead of retaining their Egyptian League title after they easily beat Arab Contractors 2-0 at the Military Academy on Wednesday.


Defender Ahmed Al-Sayed grabbed the lead early in the first half before Mohamed Abou-Treika's penalty in the second period sealed the victory for the Egyptian champions.





Ahli are on top of the Egyptian League table with 63 points, a win or a draw against arch-rivals Zamalek, who are second on 55 points, in the Cairo derby on Sunday will hand Ahli their second successive title.


Al-Sayed needed just four minutes to put the hosts in front after he connected with Abou-Treika's corner kick to head home.
10 minutes later, Al-Sayed moved down the right flank before providing a neat low cross to Abou-Treika inside the area but the Egyptian international's effort went poorly wide.





Former Tersana playmaker Abou-Treika extended the lead three minutes after the re-start through a penalty kick after Emad Al-Nahhas was brought down inside the area.
