Defeated by Palmeiras (2-0) and Chelsea (1-0), the Egyptian and Saudi clubs of Al Ahly and Al-Hilal met this Saturday for the match for 3rd place in the Club World Cup. While we were expecting a close match, there was nothing. Quickly, Yasser Ibrahim opened the scoring for Al Ahly (1-0, 8th) and doubled the lead a few minutes later (2-0, 17th). Meanwhile, the former West Bromwich Albion, Matheus Pereira, was excluded (14th).
A few minutes later, it was Mohamed Kanno who also received his red card (28th). Reduced to 9 against 11, Al-Hilal lost all hope and Al Ahly unfolded. Ahmed Abdeldkader amplified the score (3-0, 40th) while Amr El Solia worsened the mark shortly after the hour mark (4-0, 64th). With this 4-0 victory, Al Ahly ends this Club World Cup on a high note and takes third place.
