In a thrilling encounter at the Cairo International Stadium, Al Ahly secured their 6th African Super Cup title by defeating CS Sfaxien 3-2. Despite the absence of their legendary playmaker, Mohamed Aboutrika, the Egyptian club showcased their prowess on home soil.
Al Ahly took the lead in the 22nd minute with a goal from Gedo, setting the tone for an intense battle. As the game progressed, the cautious defense of Sfaxien allowed Amr Gamal to extend Al Ahly’s advantage. However, Sfaxien quickly responded as Ali Maaloul converted a penalty to keep the Tunisian side in contention.
