Al Ahly and Ceramica Cleo will square off in the Egyptian Super Cup semifinal on Sunday (October 20th). Al Ahly are coming into the game on the back of a penalty shootout defeat to Zamalek in the CAF Super Cup at the end of September.
They went into the break in the lead courtesy of Wessam Abou Ali's 44th-minute penalty while Nasr Mansi drew the game level in the 77th minute to prompt penalties. Zamalek ultimately triumphed with a 4-3 victory in the shootout.
Ceramica, meanwhile, have not been in action since suffering a 3-0 extra time defeat to ZED in the Egyptian Cup. The game was goalless after 90 minutes and at halftime of extra time. However, Dilson scored a brace, with his goals coming either side of Abdul Rahman Sakran's goal to help his side advance.
The Gold & Blood will shift their focus to the Egyptian Super Cup and are here by virtue of their status as Egyptian League Cup winners. Al Ahly are Egyptian Premier League champions.
The winner of this tie faces either Zamalek or Pyramids in the final.
