Egypt international midfielder Ahmed Hamoudi gave Smouha the lead as Abdullah Al-Saied levelled it for Ahli.

The draw keeps Smouha top with 33 points, three more than Ahli who have a game in hand.

The match was the first for newly-hired Ahli boss Fathi Mabrouk, who replaced Mohamed Youssef this week.
