This is not the first time that Al-Ahly and Zamalek have faced off for this priceless title on Emirates soil; the two teams have previously met on three occasions, including once at the stadium where today’s game will take place. On that occasion, in the 2015–2016 season, the owners of red shirts prevailed 3–2, and on the other occasion, in the 2016–2017 season, Zamalek settled the title with a 3–1 penalty shootout.
Al-Ahly and Zamalek competed for the Super title seven times in all. Al-Ahly prevailed five times, including three in regulation time, and twice with a penalty shootout, while Zamalek only triumphed twice and on kicks.
Exciting things are happening in the Emirates.
There have been many dramatic occurrences in the history of the Egyptian Super between Al-Ahly and Zamalek in the Emirates.
When Mahmoud Abdel Moneim “Kahraba,” a current Al-Ahly player and former Zamalek player, held a penalty kick that was estimated for the “white knight” and lost it, Zamalek was awarded a goal without a reaction, which helped Al-Ahly, who scored three straight goals, tilt the match in their favour.
He witnessed a peculiar misfortune on the part of Al-Ahly players during the execution of the penalty shootout in the second edition of the Egyptian Super in the Emirates, which took place at the Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium. No player was able to score except Ahmed Hegazy, while Moamen Zakaria, Saleh Jumaa, and Hossam were able to score three goals.
The third edition, which took place at the Mohammed bin Zayed Stadium and saw Zamalek win the penalty shootout as well, was also exciting and had multiple players from both of the two sides earn multiple cards.
Ferrera aspires to the position
Since Al-Ahly oversaw the technical direction of the white squad, this is the sixth matchup between him and Zamalek coach, Portuguese Ferrera.
Ferrera started his matches against Al-Ahly in the first state by losing two clean goals, scored by Moamen Zakaria, when they met in the 37th round of the Egyptian League competitions in the 2014-2015 season, and Ferrera managed in his second confrontations against Al-Ahly to revenge his defeat by achieving a precious victory, when he defeated him in the Cup final. Egypt scored two goals for free in September 2015, both of which were made by Morsi.
With three goals to two goals in the “Super” match in the Emirates, the Red Genie was able to defeat its longtime opponent, coached by its Portuguese coach. Ferrera will now quit the Zamalek training facility.
Therefore, the “site” of Friday held special significance for Ferreira, who vowed to exact revenge on the loss that caused him to lose his job on the same field.
