In the second half, El-Ettihad wasted their first major chance after a super header from El-Deeb with Awad barely making the save in the 59th minute. Zamalek came back in the 79th minute wasting another pivotal after Mostafa Mohamed shot the ball in the narrow corner of the keeper. The entirety of the match wasn't enough to decide a winner, thus extra time as needed.
