Displaying exceptional ball control, the Palestinian striker fired a low shot into the net.

He extended the lead ten minutes later with a thunderous strike from close range. 

In the 65 th minute, the towering striker who joined Ahly from Swedish side Sirius in January completed his hat-trick, taking his goal tally to 18 and lead the league top scorers’ chart.

In the 77th minute, substitute Percy Tau put the icing on the cake with a fourth goal.

Ahly are set to face Smouha on Thursday in a rescheduled fixture from the 24th matchday as they march towards potential league glory.
