The classy playmaker was introduced as a second-half substitute instead of Egyptian-born Qatari winger Hussein Yasser.

Abou-Treika came through the match unscathed. He has a fair chance to feature in Ahli's local Super Cup game against arch-rivals Zamalek on Sunday.

The 29-year-old, who has been suffering from a niggling knee injury, missed Ahli's 2-1 Champions League victory over Zamalek last Sunday.

But now he looks fully fit to participate in the second Cairo derby in the space of eight days.
