Nigerian forward Junior Ajayi netted  twice to inspire Al Ahly SC to a 5-2 victory over El Mokawloon in the Egyptian Premier League on Monday.

The 22-year-old was influential in his side’s 5-2 victory on Monday.

Walid Azaro opened the scoring in the 7th minute and Ajayi doubled Al Ahly lead in the 16th minute. But Mohamed Farouk scored just before the first half to put the visitors back in the game.

Ahmed Ali scored the equaliser from the spot but the joy was shortlived when Ajayi’s strike found the back of the net and restored Al Ahly lead.

Islam Mohareb added El Mokawloon misery  and Azaro scored his second goal of the game in the extra time to seal their full 3 points.
