Title holders Ahli returned to the Egyptian League action with a thrashing 4-0 win over Ittihad Alexandria at the Cairo Stadium on Thursday.
Mohamed Sedik scored his first goal for Ahli in the 10th minute before Osama Hosni doubled the lead six minutes before the break.
Flavio scored twice in the second-half to hand Ahli a winning return as they had two consecutive league matches postponed due to their participation in the African champions League.
The victory put Ahli in the fifth place of the league table with 10 points with two games in hand while Ittihad are fourth on 11 points.
Hosni had the first chance of the game as early as the third minute when collected the ball on the edge of the area and fired a low drive just wide.
But he made up for it in the 39th minute as he slot into the empty net after being set-up by the in-form Flavio, who added the third two minutes after the interval.
Then Flavio completed the rout in stoppage time after he connected with Hosni's cross to poke home between the keeper's legs.
