Pitso Mosimane And Al Ahly Lose Egyptian Cup Final!

Pitso Mosimane And Al Ahly Lose Egyptian Cup Final! The Egyptian giants missed the opportunity to seal their season double.

Al Ahly lost 3-2 on penalties to minnows El Geish in the Egyptian Cup Final. This means that Mosimane and his staff have missed the opportunity to claim domestic honours for this season.

The game ended in a dreary 0-0 after normal and extra time at the Borg El Arab Stadium last night. It went to penalties where things went south for the reigning African champions.

The high-profile cup final was attended by the new Egypt national team coaching staff. Carlos Queiroz and his staff was warmly welcomed by both sides.

Al Ahly missed three spot kicks and scored two, while El Geish scored three penalties and missed two. The game ended in glory for the minnows who won their first ever trophy.

This means that Al Ahly have not defended two of their three trophies from last season.

It is weird that they were able to win the CAF Champions League but struggled to win any domestic trophies. They defeated Kaizer Chiefs 3-0 in the final to be crowned African champions back in July.

They have since lost out on the league title to bitter rivals Zamalek. The gap in the end was a staggering 4 points.

This defeat now puts a dent into the massive achievement of Pitso Mosimane and his staff in their tenure in Egypt. They are now under massive scrutiny.

Mosimane’s saving grace is that he won consecutive CAF Champions League titles. Pitso Mosimane And Al Ahly Lose Egyptian Cup Final!
