In a charged atmosphere at the Cairo International Stadium, Al Ahly quickly seized the lead with a goal from Ahmed Gedo, who returned to the club after his stint with Hull City in England. The score remained unchanged at halftime.
After the break, the Red Devils extended their lead with a goal from Amr Gamal, capitalizing on a lapse in the Sfaxien defense. However, the Tunisians responded swiftly, reducing the deficit with a penalty converted by captain Ali Maaloul.
Despite Sfaxien’s resurgence, Al Ahly regained their two-goal advantage as Amr Gamal netted his second goal of the evening. Sfaxien continued to fight, with Ben Youssef scoring a stunning long-range strike to keep their hopes alive. However, despite their efforts, the Tunisian side couldn’t find an equalizer, ultimately conceding the African Super Cup to Al Ahly once again.
