The only goal of the game came from Guinean midfielder Lama Kone, who curled in a terrific first-half strike against the run of play.

Dakhlia, who stunned Ahli 1-0 in the first half of the season, had goalkeeper Ahmed Fawzi to thank for a string of classy saves.

Fawzi, a former Ahli goalie, made a crucial save that was transformed by his teammates into a successful counter attack move finished off by Kone.

The league strugglers shockingly claimed two wins in 12 games so far this season, both against African champions Ahli.

Alaa Abdul-Aal's side became the first team to complete the league double against Ahli in 10 years.
