Junior Ajayi Clinches Vital Goal for Al Ahly, Aims for More Triumphs
In a dazzling display of skill and precision, former Nigeria U-23s striker, Junior Ajayi, celebrated his third league goal for Al Ahly, propelling the Red Devils to a hard-fought 2-1 victory against Misr El-makasa in the Egyptian Premier League. This milestone marks Ajayi’s 13th league appearance for the reigning champions this season, solidifying his growing impact on the squad.
The Sunday encounter saw Misr El-makasa initially taking the lead with John Antwi converting a penalty in the 27th minute. However, Ajayi swiftly turned the tide in Al Ahly’s favor, finding the back of the net in the 65th minute. The victory was ultimately sealed by Walid Soliman’s 84th-minute effort, extending Al Ahly’s unbeaten streak to eight games in the fiercely competitive Egyptian top-flight.
Ajayi, clearly elated by his contribution, took to Twitter to express his gratitude and enthusiasm for the challenges that lie ahead. He tweeted, “⚽💪👏👍🏆 1 GOAL, 1 ASSIST. Great game! Great team! Great fans! I thank God. More challenges and victories ahead. Up @AlAhly #YallaYaAhly #Russia2018.”
Al Ahly, perched at the summit of the Egyptian league with an impressive 45 points from 18 league games, is poised for their next challenge against El Raja on Thursday. As Ajayi basks in the glory of his recent success, the forward is clearly focused on contributing more to Al Ahly’s pursuit of excellence in the upcoming fixtures.
