Al-Ahly of Egypt won the Egyptian Super Cup today, by winning 2-0 at the expense of its arch-rivals Zamalek, in the match that was hosted by the Emirates, at Hazza Bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain.
After the end of the match, His Highness Sheikh Nahyan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Chairman of the Abu Dhabi Sports Council, crowned Al-Ahly team with first place medals and the Super Cup, and Zamalek with second place medals.
Sheikh Rashid bin Humaid Al Nuaimi, President of the Emirates Football Association, Sheikh Sultan bin Hamdan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Vice Chairman of the Board of Directors of Al Ain Club, and President of the Egyptian Football Association Jamal Allam attended and participated in the coronation, in the presence of a number of officials.
The confrontation fully fulfilled its promises, and the huge fans who attended enjoyed a hearty football meal.
The confrontation started in an enthusiastic manner on the part of the two teams, and with the passage of time, Al-Ahly imposed its control over the course of the match, with an intermittent advantage for Zamalek.
The "white" players made many mistakes during the first half, and their ranks were far apart, and it became clear that striker Seif El-Din Al-Jaziri lacked the necessary support to pose a possible threat to goalkeeper Mohamed El-Shennawy, while midfielder Ahmed Sayed Zizou was subjected to censorship that restricted his starts. .
The continuous pressure from the "red" team caused the players of Zamalek to make mistakes, which resulted in Al-Ahly scoring its first goal by Brazilian Bruno Savio in the 39th minute, taking advantage of a fatal defensive lapse as he manipulated defender Mohamed Abdel Ghani and sent a curved ball into the goalkeeper Mohamed Awad's goal.
Despite Zamalek's repeated attempts to equalize in the second half, including a dangerous fixed ball that Zizou executed forcefully, but Al-Shennawi brilliantly tackled it, Al-Ahly managed to enhance the result in stoppage time, through Karim Fouad.
