Barcelona 2:1 Al Ahly SC — Match Report

Gary RedknappFootball AnalystMATCH REPORT

Zizo scored once as Al Ahly FC fell short 2-1 to Barcelona in a Club Friendly, the Egyptian midfielder’s second-half strike not enough to overcome a two-goal deficit. Barcelona led through Hamza Abdelkarim and Raphinha before the break, though the friendly’s lack of a stage or next fixture leaves both sides to ponder their preparations.

The match turned on Barcelona’s first-half double, with Alejandro Balde supplying Hamza Abdelkarim’s opener in the 29th minute and Raphinha adding a second just before the interval. Al Ahly responded after the restart when Monsef Bakrar set up Zizo to score in the 51st minute, but the away side’s momentum was checked by Ahmed Eid’s late yellow card in the 89th.

Possession was split exactly at 50% each, with no corners for either side, suggesting a tight, midfield-heavy contest rather than one team dominating. Zizo was the standout, earning a 9.96 rating for his goal and influence from midfield, despite ending on the losing side. With no prediction registered and no next fixture scheduled, both clubs will simply take what they can from this encounter.
