Bayern Munich friendly with Ahli seemed like a Champions League encounter, according to the Bavarians' manager Jupp Heynckes. Egyptian champions Ahli produced a solid display against the German titans and almost grabbed a deserved 1-1 draw in Doha, only to be denied by a last-gasp goal from Ivica Olic. “Tactically, Ahli played like a European team. It was like a Champions League game,” Heynckes said in the post-match conference. “They were committed tactically and played a good game and that surely helps us in our preparation for the next half of the season.” Bayern resume domestic action against Borussia Moenchengladbach on January 20, whereas Ahli will play against Military Production on Tuesday.
