In the 15th minute Kingsley Koman almost punished a mistake in the defense of Al Ahly, and seconds later Thomas Mueller could bring the German colossus ahead in the result, but shot straight into the opponent`s guard. In the 17th minute the result was opened and the team of Hansi Flick already had a goal lead.

In the 21st minute, Manuel Neuer also had to show his skills. The Bayern guard made the first save of the match after a header by El Sulia. In the 24th minute, the Spanish defensive midfielder of Bayern, Mark Roca, could have made the score 2:0, but from a very good position he shot inaccurately. A minute later, Roca again found himself dangerously close to Al Ahly`s door, but his jester was saved by El Shenawi. In the 28th minute, the Egyptians had to make a forced substitution, as defender Maalul was injured and gave his place to Ibrahim. In the 37th minute there was an interesting situation in the penalty area of Al Ahly. Lewandowski was brought face to face with goalkeeper El Shenaui, but shot out. In this situation, however, there was also contact between the guard and the Polish striker.
