Ahli have been eliminated from the Egypt Cup semi-finals after losing 2-1 to Smouha, only a few days after winning the league. The recently-crowned league champions were downed by a brace from Egypt international Ahmed Hamoudi, who is on the verge of moving to Basel this summer. Emad Meteb pulled one back for Ahli late in the game through a penalty but it wasn't enough for the record holders. Smouha, who only missed out on the league title on goal difference, meet Zamalek in the final this month. The match is only the second for Ahli's Spanish manager Juan Carlos Garrido, who replaced interim coach Fathi Mabrouk this week. Ahli 1-2 Smouha
