Al Ahly Cruise Past Al Ain in Club World Cup

Al Ahly advanced to the next round of the FIFA Club World Cup with a convincing 3-0 victory over Al Ain on Tuesday.

The Egyptian champions dominated the match with goals from Wessam Abou Ali, Emam Ashour and Mohamed Magdy.

Wessam Abou Ali, Palestine national team striker, celebrated his goal while sitting on a chair, commemorating ex-Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar, who was killed in Gaza two weeks ago. Sinwar, the man who planned the October 7 attack on Israel, had a famous photo of him sitting on a couch among the ruins.

This victory sees Al Ahly progress in the tournament where they will face higher-ranked opposition in the next round. The result continues Al Ahly's strong record in international competitions as Africa's most successful club team.
