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.
