Mohamed Sherif gave Al Ahly the lead in the 53rd minute, while Mohamed ‘Afsha’ Magdy brilliant fired in Ahly’s second goal in the 64th minute.

Amr el Sulaya sealed Ahly’s victory, burying a back-heel kick in Chiefs net in the 74th minute.

With Saturday’s win, Ahly will smile home with $2.5 million for winning the Champions League.
