Pitso Mosimane congratulated his team after a hard-earned win

Briefly News previously reported that it's only the start of the Egyptian Premier League but every result is important. Pitso Mosimane's Al Ahly got a hard-earned three points against National Bank yesterday and the coach is congratulating his team for fighting hard to get the win.

Al Ahly won their first match of the league against Ismaily SC and it was an emphatic 4-0 victory that saw Percy Tau netting twice on his sensational debut. This time, however, things didn't come too easily and Al Ahly had to fight for the win.

Pitso Mosimane captioned his post on Twitter:

"Hard-earned victory! Well done guys, we march on."
