Harras Hodoud retained the Egyptian Cup title after beating Ahly 5-4 on penalties, following a thrilling 1-1 draw at Cairo Stadium on Monday.
Youngster Ahmed Safi gave the Alexandrians a first-half lead, but Mohamed Barakat equalized for Ahly eight minutes from the end to force extra time and penalties.
The five Hodoud players made no mistake from the spot as Ahly’s unlucky number 7 Mohamed Fadl was the only player to miss.
Hodoud manager Tarek Al-Ashri made three changes to the side that beat Ismaili in the semis, welcoming back captain Mohamed Halim.
At the other end, Ahly played with the same eleven who started against Military Production last week.
