CAIRO: Ahly came from behind to thrash Rabat & Anwar 4-1 in an exhibition match on Tuesday.
The second-division side took the lead three minutes past the half-hour mark, thanks to a Sherif Wasfi strike.
But Ahly responded fiercely after the interval.
Red Devils coach Hossam Al-Badri made half a dozen substitutions at once after the break to help his team roar back to form.
The introduction of Hani Al-Egeizi evidently paid off, as he brought the score level before netting the third.
Amir Sayoud, who also came on as a substitute, converted a penalty-kick to give Ahly a slender lead. Mohamed Samir completed the rout.
The game witnessed the dismissal of Ahly midfielder Moataz Eno and Rabat s Ahmed Gamal.
The Cairo giants will face Nasr in another friendly during the current league stoppage period.
