"Thank God. The match was absent from the stadium for such a long time. They kept doubting the players' skills, saying they can't, they won't. But it is the red shirt that was speaking today. There is no such thing as an individual player. Everyone plays together. There is no such thing as depending on individual play, we rely on team play, we rely on something called the Al Ahly club motto. The spirit and shirt of the Ahly club, that's what played tonight."

"The match was good but Al Ahly was not pushing it in the first half. After the first 10 minutes, Al Ahly started spreading its control throughout the match. After we finished the first half, the second half was the same. But in the last 15 minutes, Al Ahly had gripped the match. The Zamalek team was trying of course, but Al Ahly wouldn't let them (win). Thank god for this win."

STORY: Soccer fans in Egypt took to the streets on Friday (November 27), many celebrating their club's win as Al Ahly's Mohamed Magdi scored a stunning goal four minutes from time, beating Cairo rivals Zamalek 2-1 to claim the 2019-20 CAF Champions League title.
The teams were locked at 1-1 at the Cairo International Stadium when midfielder Magdi collected a loose ball 30 metres out, showed neat control under pressure and volleyed into the corner of the net.
It sparked wild scenes of celebration from the players, and might have been applauded by 100,000 fans in the stadium but instead was netted in front of empty stands due to COVID-19 restrictions.
Many gathered at nearby cafes, sitting shoulder to shoulder watching the match on television screens.
18-year-old Abdelrahman Nasr said that although Al Ahly did not play well at first, they picked up their speed and control at the last 15 minutes, scoring their second goal.
Another fan, Mohamed Rashad, said that the Zamalek team played well, and could have easily won the match.
"We say hard luck, but they played a good game," said Rashad.
An unnamed Zamalek fan, preparing to speak about the match, burst into tears as his friends embraced him and walked away.
Hundreds of others drove across Cairo's streets, waving flags and honking their cars, with some blasting fireworks and flares.
Friday's match is the first time since the inaugural African Champions Cup final in 1965 that the final was a single game.
Ahly took an early lead when Amr Soleya headed an in-swinging corner into the net inside five minutes, reward for some early pressure as they made the brighter start.
But Zamalek grew more dominant as the half wore on and levelled thanks to a touch of magic from winger Shikabala.
He collected the ball out wide on the right, skipped past three defenders and unleashed an unstoppable shot into the top corner of the goal from the edge of the box.
Zamalek continued to take the game to their rivals and were unlucky not to go ahead just past the hour when Ahmed Sayed's thunderous 35-metre drive smashed into the post.
But Magdi settled the contest with his own moment of brilliance as Ahly won the title for the first time in seven years to make up for final defeats in 2017 and 2018.
