Percy Tau grabbed his fifth league goal of the season for Al Ahly on Wednesday night, and his first since October, as they won 2-1 at Ismaily in the Egyptian Premier League.
The Lion of Judah’s snapshot from outside the box took a massive deflection and flew past Ismaily goalkeeper Ahmed Adel to put Ahly 1-0 up in the 33rd minute.
Tau has five goals in just six Premier League appearances for Ahly this season, with the Red Devils playing catch up domestically because of their participation in the Caf African Football League and the Caf Champions League, where they will play Esperance in the final.
Al Ahly are currently 11th in the Egyptian Premier League, but have at least five games in hand on all the sides above them, including current leaders Pyramids FC, who they trail by 14 points.
Tau has seven goals in 26 matches in all competitions for Ahly this season, having also scored in the Champions League and the Fifa Club World Cup.
This was his first top flight appearance for Ahly since November – he spent some time out of the side with a leg injury.
It was also the 29 year-old’s third goal against Ismaily this season, having netted twice at home to the same opponent in the Egyptian Premier League in October.
