Ghana striker John Antwi scored four goals on his debut in Al Ahly's 13-0 thrashing over Gouha on Thursday.

Antwi netted two goals in both halves while Gabon striker Malik Evouna and fullback Ahmed Fathi also scored their first goals with their new team.

A double from Abdallah El-Said and goals from Ramadan Sobhi, Hossam Ghaly and an own goal from Mohamed Shamseddin completed the rout.

The 13-0 record victory is the highest registered in an official game in Egyptian football since the 11-0 league win for Masry against Beni Suef in 1962/1963 season and Olympic 11-0 win against El-Tag El Malaki in the King Cup in 1929.

Ahly will face Ittihad El-Shorta in the competition's quarters on Sunday.

Antwi joined Al Ahly in June this year after he was considered surplus to requirement at Saudi Arabia club Al Shabab leading to his move to the Egyptian giants.
