Ahli needed a piece of magic from Mohamed Abou-Treika to grab a 1-0 victory over Zamalek, but how did each player fare in the 100th Cairo derby? The FilGoal.com team gives you its assessment of each player (out of 10): Ahli players: Essam Al-Hadari (9): He safely guarded his net as ever, blocking several shots and making up for some defensive mistakes. He was just little bit shaky in dealing with crosses. Emad Al-Nahhas (3): A sluggish and slow display didn't help the sweeper, once considered as one of the best defenders in Egypt. He could have gifted Zamalek a goal when he sent a very short back pass to Al-Hadari. Ahmed Al-Sayed (6): Produced a relatively good performance and successfully fulfilled his defensive duties. Shadi Mohamed (8.5): The Ahli skipper maintained his impressive displays at the heart of the team's defense. Despite missing a penalty, he prevented Zamalek from grabbing the equalizer when he cleared Wissem El-Abdi's header off the line. Gilberto (8): One of the match's best performers. He annoyed Ahmed Ghanem when he played as a left winger and was also good when Manuel Jose switched him to midfield. He could have even done better but the Portuguese manager opted to replace him in the second-half. Hassan Mostafa (7): He was good in attacking aspects but didn't have a pivotal role in halting Zamalek's attempts to threat Ahli net. Anis Boujelbene (3): The Tunisian midfielder produced a below-par form, giving too many mispasses and failing to make any notable impact in Ahli's midfield. Hossam Ashour (6): His display was average throughout the match as he didn't commit a fatal error but wasn't influential neither defensively nor offensively Mohamed Barakat (9): Without doubt, he deserves to be named man of the match. The energetic midfielder was absolutely outstanding, moving everywhere on the pitch as well as being a rock in Ahli midfield. Mohamed Abou-Treika (8): The superb playmaker does always rise up to the occasion. He scored the decisive strike and was a constant threat.
Shikabala and Amr Zaki were not at their best Flavio (7): Despite missing several chances, the Angolan striker was overall good and provided neat passes to teammates. He left Zamalek keeper Mohamed Abdul-Monsef with no alternative but to bring him down in the area, awarding a penalty to Ahli. Substitutes: Islam Al-Shater (4): He was introduced to revitalize the right-flank but was very slow and couldn't contribute to Ahli's attacking attempts. Wael Gomaa (5): His introduction helped Ahli maintain the stability of their defense. Emad Meteb: was not tested Zamalek: Mohamed Abdul-Monsef (7.5): The unfortunate keeper wasn't at fault for Abou-Treika's strike and managed to brilliantly block Shadi's penalty. Mahmoud Fathallah (6): He failed to replicate the form that saw him establish himself as a key player for Zamalek in the Egyptian League. He needlessly kept possession for long periods and was sluggish in moving the ball forward. Karim Zekri (5): His positioning was poor and Abou-Treika got the better of him. Wissem El-Abdi (4): It was one of the Tunisian defender's worst displays since arriving at Zamalek, his marking was terrible and his passes found just opponents. Ahmed Ghanem (6): He produced an average performance and sent very few crosses from the right. Defensively, he wasn't also at his best. Mohamed Aboul-Ella (5): The Zamalek leader was very disappointing. He neither served defenders nor helped strikers in their mission to break Ahli's backline. Alaa Abdul-Ghani (8): Zamalek's best player in the match. He succeeded in sto
