Essam Al-Hadari represented Ismaili for the first time in a 1-1 friendly draw with Harras Hodoud. The veteran keeper came on as a second-half substitute in place of Mohamed Sobhi as he received Hodoud's equalizer from Egypt winger Ahmed Eid. Ismaili new striker Ahmed Ali had opened the scoring earlier. Al-Hadari, 37, joined Ismaili for €600,000 from Sion last week after the Dervishes' bitter feuds Ahli refused to let him back in their ranks. Ismaili's next pre-season warm-up will be on Tuesday against Egyptian Premier League rivals Gaish.
