Zamalek avenged last year's defeat by Ahly in the Egyptian Super Cup by overcoming their bitter Cairo rivals in the same competition with a 4-3 shootout victory following a 0-0 draw in Abu Dhabi on Thursday. Ahly had the better of the first half but couldn't convert their chances while the second was a scrappy affair, with too many mis-placed passes disrupting the flow of the game. The game went straight to penalties, where Zamalek prevailed with a comeback. After both sides converted their first two spot-kicks, Zamalek's Moroccan playmaker Achraf Bencharki had his effort saved by Ahly keeper Mohamed El-Shennawi. But Ahly could not seize on the miss, with Mohamed Hani's shot denied by a superb one-handed save from keeper Mohamed Abou-Gabal. Defensive midfielder Tarek Hamed then found the top corner with a superb effort before Ahly's new recruit Aliou Badji fired straight at Abou-Gabal, with Zamalek's section of fans erupting into ecstasy.
