The Egypt international volleyed home the only goal after being set up by former Zamalek striker Abdulaye Cisse.

Its the first goal for the 29-year-old with Ittihad, where he has been loaned to from African champions Ahli.

Abdul-Zaher's future with Ahli is far from clear, having been disciplined by the Reds following a 'political gesture' in the Champions League final last year.
