Aboutreika is settled in UAE
Cairo - Hossam Al Said
Egyptian forward Mohamed Aboutreika was on target for Baniyas, in their 5-0 win over Dubai SC on Friday evening.
The former al-Ahly star was singled out for praise by Baniyas coach Jozef Chovanec, after an impressive man-of-the-match display.
Aboutreika scored the UAE side's fourth goal in the 72nd minute, when he guided a free-kick past Dubai goalkeeper Jamal Abdallah Ali. Goals from Wilhelmsson, Nawaf Mubarak and Senghor had given Baniyas a commanding 3-0 first half lead. Haboush Saleh netted a fifth goal for the hosts late in the game.
The win took Baniyas to third in the UAE Pro-League, level on points with second-placed al-Jazeera and nine points behind leaders al-Ain after 15 matches.
Aboutreika moved to the Emirates last month on a six-month loan deal. At the time, coach Chovanec said wanted to change his tactics to get the best out of the Egyptian forward.
