Al Ittihad 1-0 Ahly Mohammed Noor scores the only goal of the game Saudi Arabia's Al Ittihad edged out Ahly in the first game of Fifa's Club World Championship in Tokyo - ending the Egyptians' 55-game unbeaten run. Mohammed Noor capitalised on an error by keeper Essam El Hadary in the 78th minute to book their semi-final place. El Hadary flapped at a cross from right-back Ahmed Al Dosari, leaving captain Noor the simplest of finishes. Ittihad dominated in the freezing conditions, with El Hadary making a smart stop from Mohammed Kallon. It ends a remarkable run for African champions Ahly, who had been undefeated in all competitions since July 2004.
