Winner was going home with a whopping 1 million dollars. Yes!! They are from North Africa, the place where they run football like almost how the Europeans do.
Al Ahly and their arch-rivals Zamalek squared off at the Al-Awwal Stadium in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia and the favourites won even though they were made to suffer but did it late in the game.
Emam Ashour and Afsha Magdi combined to finish off Zamalek in a grand style. Afsha assisted Emam Ashour to open the scoring in the 84th minute. Emam Ashour also assisted Afsha to double the Red Devils’ lead in the 94th minute to seal the emphatic win.
It was a game that caught the eye of the world as former Manchester United, Real Madrid, Inter Milan and Chelsea’s manager Jose Mourinho was invited to grace the occasion. The Prince of Rome, Francesco Totti, formerly of AS Roma and the Azzuri was in attendance alongside the one and only El Fenomeno, the Brazillian Ronaldo who was unstoppable during his playing days.
The 2-0 success for Al Ahly means they have won the most trophies in the world as no team has reached 150 trophies.
Al Ahly are the current champions of the CAF Champions League, Egyptian Premier League and the Egyptian Cup.
Undoubtedly, Al Ahly is a humongous football club.
