The match is underway
17:45 Players are back in their dressing rooms minutes before the start of the game.
17:15 Starting lineups:
Ahly: Mohamed El-Shennawi – Ahmed Fathi, Ayman Achraf, Saad Samir, Ali Maaloul – Hossam Achour, Amr El-Sulaya, Abdallah El-Said, Junior Ajayi, Walid Soliman – Walid Azaro.
Masry: Ahmed Massoud - Mohamed Koffi, Mohamed Hamdi, Karim Iraqi, Ahmed Abdel-Mawgoud - Farid Shawqi, Ahmed Shoukri, Walid Hassan, Eslam Issa - Mohamed Grindo, Ahmed Gomaa.
17:00 The players are on the pitch to start their warm up ahead of the game.
16:00 Ahly are the record Egyptian Super Cup winners with nine titles. Masry have never appeared in the competition, which was inaugurated in 2001.
15:00 Masry are missing Burkinabe towering striker Aristide Bance, who went AWOL for the second time this season, saying he had to leave Egypt for family reasons.
14:00 Ahly will need to address their shortage of options in defence after Rami Rabia was ruled out of the Masry game because of an injury he sustained against Zamalek.

13:00 Masry were knocked out of the Egypt Cup this season but are having a fine run in the domestic league, lying third with 30 points from 17 matches, nine behind Ahly.
12:00 Ahly are buoyed by their recent 3-0 Cairo derby win over Zamalek which briefly lifted them to the league summit before Ismaily regained their position on top with a 3-2 win over Nasr on Tuesday, although Ahly still have a game in hand.
11:30 Ahly are hoping to mark the start of what they hope will be a "great year" by beating bitter rivals Masry in the Egyptian Super Cup in the United Arab Emirates on Friday.
