Hussein el-Shahat scored the second right before the end of the first half through an unbelievable blunder by a Zamalek defender and Ajayi scored again in the 48th minute of the match.
Al-Ahly were in the lead by three goals until the 64th minute, when Zamalek started a remarkable comeback by a goal from penalty scored by Mahmoud Alaa, who also scored another penalty in the 75th minute into the same left bottom corner of Al-Ahly goalkeeper Mohamed el-Shennawi.
By this victory, Al-Ahly have lifted the Egyptian Super Cup for the 11th time in their history, while Zamalek won it three times.
