Bruno Savio and Karim Fouad scored on either side of half time to help Al Ahly defeat Zamalek 2-0 in the Egyptian Super Cup at the Hazza bin Zayed Stadium in Al Ain on Friday.

Savio struck six minutes before the break and Fouad, who came in for the injured Brazilian eight minutes from time, sealed the game in stoppage time to give his side a record 12th Super Cup and their Swiss manager Marcel Koller his first title at the helm.

Ahly’s win also denied Zamalek a treble after they clinched both the Egyptian League and the Egyptian Cup. Savio made the most of a blunder from Zamalek defender Zakaria El Wardi to curl the ball home from the edge of the area to the far corner of the net in a cagey first half.

Fouad, unmarked on the far post, knocked in the second for Ahly off a cross from the left from Ali Maaloul. Zamalek received an early blow when left back Ahmed Fattouh was forced to leave with an injury at the half hour.
