Mohamed Hany scored the only goal of the game as Al Ahly beat Monterrey 1-0 in the Club World Cup on Saturday.
The 26-year-old struck in the 53rd minute at the Al Nahyan Stadium for the Egyptian outfit, lashing home from just inside the penalty area after goalkeeper Esteban Andrada had parried a cross into his path.
Liga MX side Monterrey will consider themselves unlucky to have lost, given they had a whopping 20 shots – 11 more than their opponents – and enjoyed 63.3 per cent possession.
Al Ahly will now face Palmeiras in the semi-finals on Tuesday.
