Ahli coach Hossam Al-Badri believes that Mansoura were 'exceptionally spirited' while facing the Red Devils in the Egyptian Premier League. The defending champions registered a convening 2-1 victory at promoted Mansoura on Monday, to cement their place at the top of the league table. "As I expected, Mansoura were exceptionally spirited during the game," Al-Badri said after the match. "It was Ahli's first trip to Masnoura after their top-flight promotion, so their attitude was kind of normal. "I'm really happy we won the game and claimed all three points." On the other hand, Mansoura assistant coach Al-Husseini Kamal put his outfit's loss down to his men's lack of experience. "Before the game, I asked my players not to be overwhelmed by Ahli's imposing history and name," he stated. "They simply don't have enough experience to win such a game. "This was their first defeat at home this season. it must have affected their morale "
