Al-Ahly clinched the Egyptian Super Cup title after beating Zamalek in the final on penalties.
The original time of the match, which was played at Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium in the Emirates, ended in a goalless draw, and the situation remained the same in extra time.
The two teams resorted to penalty kicks for the second time in less than a month, but this time it smiled on Al-Ahly after Zamalek won the African Super Cup in Saudi Arabia.
Rida Selim had the opportunity to decide the penalty kicks for Al-Ahly at the fifth kick, had it not been for the brilliance of Mohamed Awad, so the kicks extended to one kick and one kick after Zizo succeeded in scoring the fifth for Zamalek.
Awad gave Zamalek the opportunity to win the title after blocking Youssef Ayman’s kick, but captain Shikabala took his kick recklessly and Mohamed El-Shennawy blocked it, causing the White Knight to lose an easy chance to win the match.
In the end, Omar Gaber hit the crossbar with a penalty kick, and the match ended with Al-Ahly winning 7-6 and winning the title for the fifteenth time in history and the fourth in a row.
