Egyptian giants, Al Ahly won their eighth TotalEnergies CAF Super Cup after edging out Raja Club Athletic 6-5 in a dramatic post-match penalties shootout after a 1-1 draw in regulation time.

Raja’s Abdelilah Madkour skied his sudden death penalty to hand Ahly the title, after all the first five shooters had expertly tucked away the penalties.

The TotalEnergies CAF Champions League holders had forced the game into penalties after Taher Mohamed Taher had scored the equalizer at the stroke of 90 minutes, cancelling out Raja’s 13th minute opener.

In sudden death, Akram Tawfik scored the first for Ahly, but Madkour skied his response for Raja.

Al Ahly holds the record for the greatest number of CAF Super Cup titles, having won seven times out of the nine finals they have played.

The red Devils of Egypt last won the CAF Super Cup in May 2021, beating RS Berkane 2-0 in Doha.
