After achieving their second trophy in less than a week and their fourth Egyptian Super Cup (SC) title, here is how Arab newspapers commented on Zamalek's big triumph over their arch-rivals Al Ahly.

Following a hard-fought game, the White Knights managed to defeat the Red Devils on penalties 4-3 to lift their fourth Egyptian Super Cup title.

Morocco's newspaper "Almountakhab" shed the light on the Whites' Moroccan players Achraf Bencharki and Mohamed Ounajem, who took part in the game.

The Moroccan newspaper also added that Bencharki wasted an important penalty, but five days before, his brace guided the White Knights to claim their fourth CAF Super Cup trophy after defeating ES Tunis 3-1

Emirates's newspaper "Al Bayan," said that Zamalek managed to claim the title for the fourth time in general, but for the second time at Mohammed bin Zayed stadium after defeating their arch-rival Al Ahly 4-3 on penalties.

Morocco's paper "Al Botola," said that the White Knights managed to achieve their second trophy in less than a week after defeating Al Ahly.

The Moroccan newspaper shed the light on the absence of sportsmanship between both clubs' players, especially after Abdallah Gomaa’s decisive penalty.

The fight broke out between the players when Kahraba reacted angrily to Shikabala and Abdallah Gomaa’s celebrations.

Kahraba was shown the red card after the game due to his reaction.
