Al Ahly coach Marcel Koller had nothing but praise for his side's impressive 3-1 win over Al-Ittihad in the FIFA Club World Cup on Friday night.
The Egyptian giants stunned the Saudi Pro League to book their spot in the semi-finals for the fourth time.
Goals from Ali Maaloul, Hussein El Shahat and Emam Ashour got the job done on the night and the Al Ahly tactician was delighted with the side's display.

"Ahly always play to win. Our players delivered outstanding performance and deserved the victory with this score," Koller said in a press conference, as per Ahram.org.
"We deal with every game separately according to our opponent's level. Today we played well, scored goals and every player provided a unique level," the Swiss coach added.
The Red Devils will now turn their attention to the semi-final, where they will face South American champions Fluminense on Monday.
"We are now thinking only of the semifinal. Fluminense is a strong team and I watched their 2-1 win over Boca Juniors 2-1 in the Copa Libertadores final earlier in November," the Ahly coach said.
"The temperature here is moderate and this is a very good thing for us. Also, we played in an outstanding pitch and I think it is important to feel comfortable to deliver a good performance like what we did today,."
