CAIRO: Essam Al-Hadari represented Ismaili for the first time in a 1-1 friendly draw with Harras Hodoud.

The veteran keeper came on as a second-half substitute in place of Mohamed Sobhi as he received Hodoud s equalizer from Egypt winger Ahmed Abdel-Malek.

Ismaili new striker Ahmed Ali had opened the scoring earlier.

Al-Hadari, 37, joined Ismaili for ?600,000 from Sion last week after the Dervishes rivals Ahly refused to let him back in their ranks.

Ismaili s next pre-season warm-up will be on Tuesday against Egyptian Premier League rivals Gaish.
