Junior Ajayi’s Scoring Streak Continues as Al Ahly Dominate El Raja Marsa Matruh
In a commanding performance in the Egyptian first division on Monday night, Nigerian striker Junior Ajayi showcased his goal-scoring prowess once again for Al Ahly, contributing to their emphatic victory over bottom-placed El Raja Marsa Matruh. This marks Ajayi’s second goal in three games for Al Ahly in the new Egyptian season.
Al Ahly set the tone early in the match, with Ahmed Fathi securing a 1-0 lead in the seventh minute, followed by Momen Zakaria doubling the advantage to 2-0 in the 20th minute. Just before halftime, Junior Ajayi found the back of the net, extending Ahly’s lead to 3-0.
Although Ahmed Ouka pulled a goal back for El Raja, reducing the deficit to 3-1, Saad Samir swiftly restored Al Ahly’s three-goal lead, concluding the game with a commanding 4-1 victory.
Ajayi’s goal-scoring prowess has been evident, having also scored in Ahly’s previous league game against Al Ittihad last Thursday, where he netted the team’s first goal. The Rio 2016 Olympic bronze medalist with Nigeria’s U-23 Eagles is making a significant impact early in the season.
Following this victory, Al Ahly now occupies the seventh position in the 18-team Egyptian top league standings, amassing seven points. As Ajayi’s scoring streak continues, the team’s fans eagerly anticipate more stellar performances in the ongoing Egyptian football season.
