Brazilian midfielder Clederson Cesar hit a brace in the first period, before the Egypt ace put the icing on the cake in the 37th minute after converting a free-kick.

Having scored, Abd-Rabou took his overall tally this season to 11 goals.

The on-loan Ismail star was serving a domestic four-match ban after receiving a red card for an off-ball challenge during the UAE Cup semi-final first leg, which Wehda won 3-1 almost a month ago.

Ahli are now at the top of the league table with 45 points, three clear of closest rivals Al-Jazeera who beat Zafra 3-1 on Sunday either.
