Al Ahly defeated Zamalek 2–0 at Cairo International Stadium in the Egyptian Premier League meeting reported by CAF on October 11, 2026. Mohamed Hany and Monsef Bakrar scored as the club secured the points in the sixth round of the league campaign.
Hany broke the deadlock in the 39th minute. His powerful effort from outside the penalty area put Al Ahly ahead before the interval, giving the team a lead to protect when Zamalek increased their pressure after the restart.
Zamalek's response included a close-range header from Ahmed Sherif. Al Ahly goalkeeper Mostafa Shobeir saved the attempt, preserving the one-goal advantage at a stage when an equaliser would have changed the match's balance. The second goal came later rather than immediately after half-time.
Substitute Bakrar made the score 2–0 in the 80th minute. The Algerian forward beat his marker before finishing with a low shot. CAF identified it as his first Al Ahly goal since joining from Dinamo Zagreb during the preceding summer transfer window.
The result also delivered a first Cairo derby victory for Moroccan coach Hussein Amoutta. That coaching milestone accompanied a match decided by a defender's opening strike, a goalkeeper's important save and a substitute's late contribution, rather than one player's scoring alone.
CAF described this as the clubs' 133rd top-flight league meeting since the competition began in 1948–49. At that point, Al Ahly had 53 wins, Zamalek 29 and 51 encounters had ended level. Those figures belong to this October meeting and provide historical context for the result.
