The end of the match between Zamalek and Al-Ahly in the final of the African Champions League witnessed a quarrel between Mustafa Mohamed, the striker of Zamalek and Hussein Al-Shahat, the Al-Ahly player, which developed because of Kabongo Kasongo’s attack, not Zamalek’s player, against Aliyu Badji, Al-Ahly striker, who intervened to defend Al-Shahat, while Ahmed Suleiman, an analyst for the performance of the first football team in Al-Ahly club, attacked Mohamed Sobhi, Zamalek goalkeeper, during his attempt to disengage in the match that ended with Al-Ahly’s victory over rival Zamalek with two goals for a goal and crowning the ninth African Championship title.
The lenses observed Ahmed Suleiman throwing Mohamed Sobhi, the third goalkeeper for Zamalek, to the ground after the end of the match, which witnessed clashes and skirmishes that led to the expulsion of Mustafa Muhammad, the Al-Abyad striker and Hussein Al-Shahat, Al-Ahly’s wing.
Congolese Kabongo Kasungu, the Zamalek winger, attacked Senegalese Alio Badji, Al-Ahly striker, after the two teams’ match in the African Champions League ended.
Kasongo participated in the second half of the match instead of Shikabala, while Badji did not participate and was on the bench.
Badji had also clashed with the players of Zamalek in the last Super Cup, which was crowned by the white team with a penalty shootout.

Al-Ahly won the CAF Champions League title for the ninth time in its history after beating Zamalek (2-1) in the final of the tournament at Cairo International Stadium without a crowd’s presence.
Al-Ahly advanced with an early goal for Al-Sulayyah before Shikabala drew with Zamalek, until Muhammad Magdi Afsha came in the 87th minute with a missile that gave Al-Ahmar the title and turned Zamalek dreams into a mirage.
Al-Ahly’s victory in the ninth title ended seven lean years, during which the historic champion of the continent and the Horn of Africa Club did not taste the taste of winning the title, and the cup granted its owner a visa to participate in the Club World Cup in Qatar next February.
the summary of the match
The match started with pressure from Al-Ahly in search of an early goal, and he had what he wanted after a corner crossed by Ali Maaloul, to turn Amr Al-Soulia with a header into the white net and give Al-Ahly a goal in the fifth minute.
Before Al-Ahly’s goal, Al-Ahly discovered a defensive weakness in the left front for Zamalek to send Ajay a pass behind Islam Jaber to Hussein Al-Shahat, who was alone and hit a ball that Abu Jabal removed to a corner that Al-Ahly advanced.
After the goal, Al-Ahly retreated back and Zamalek pressed hard, until Mahmoud Shikabala succeeded in exploiting his skill and presenting a solo shot during which he got rid of Al-Ahly’s defense and fired a left-wing shell that hugged the net, watching Al-Shennawi in the 31st minute.
In the last minutes of the first half, Al-Ahly almost regained its lead with a cross from Hussein Al-Shahat, who skillfully dodged Islam Jaber and sent a cross that was removed by the defense to reach Hamdi Fathi, who headed the ball but went to the position of Abu Jabal.
Al-Ahly organized an onslaught of great teamwork in the 54th minute that ended with a cross from Ali Maaloul to Hussein Al-Shahat, completely alone with the net, but the Al-Ahly player hit the post, so the ball bounced back to Mahmoud Alaa, who pushed it away to a corner.
Zamalek responded in the 65th minute with a shell from outside the penalty area, which was tackled this time by the left post of Al-Ahly club after the ball passed by Mohamed El-Shenawy.
In the 87th minute, Muhammad Majdi sent a rocket-propelled grenade from outside the penalty area, which passed by everyone and hugged the window of goalkeeper Muhammad Abu Jabal to announce Al-Ahmar’s advance.
Al-Ahly succeeded in the last minutes in securing their defenses to deservedly win the ninth African title and leave Zamalek mired in grief after losing the second final in the last 4 years.
