The referee blows his half-time whistle, Zamalek 0-0 Ahly 45 The referee adds two minutes as stoppage time. 42 Zamalek striker Abdoulaye Cisse squanders a golden opportunity!! he is found unmarked by a low cross from Ahmed Hassan but his scooped shot goes over the bar. 39 Ahmed Samir is exploiting the gaps on Ahly's left side, but his finishing touch always lets him down. 37 Zamalek might pay for the wasted effort, given the constant pressure of Ahly. 35 Zamalek create their first chance!! Right-back Ahmed Samir breaks clear and finds himself one-on-one with Ahly keeper Ekramy following a superb long ball from Alexis Mendomo, but he dithers on the ball while attempting to round the keeper to allow the defence to clear the danger. 30 Another chance for Ahly!! Abou-Treika is unlucky to have his close-range blocked by a defender following a goal-mouth scramble. Zamalek's defence is struggling to keep at bay Ahly's skilful forwards. 28 Ahly appeal for a handball for an alleged handball on Zamalek left-back Mohamed Abdel-Shafy but the referee waves play on. 25 The lively Walid Soliman, the best performer on the pitch so far, skilfully skips past a challenger on the left but his cross goes begging. 22 Ahly are moving the ball around smoothly, just outside Zamalek's penalty area, but they are still struggling to find a way through. 19 The game is still very dull. The absence of the fans is clearing taking toll on both sides. 16 Soliman and left-back Sayed Moawad are causing menace to Zamalek's defence, thanks to their frequent exchange of passes. 13 First real chance in the match!! Ahly's forward Walid Soliman is picked out unmarked inside the area but he sends his low shot wide of the post, poor effort from the fleet-footed player. 12 Ahly's talented attacking midfielders are still finding it difficult to make their presence felt. They are contained by Zamalek's three defensive midfielders. 11 Zamalek's veteran midfielder Ahmed Hassan is dictating play, trying to send long balls behind Ahly's backline. 10 No threats so far. Both sides remain cautious in front of an empty stadium. 8 Ahly's right-back Ahmed Fathi receives a yellow card for a foul on an opponent. 5 Zamalek have the better possession in the first five minutes. They used to make the better start in recent Cairo derbies, only to lose at the end. 4 Zamalek midfielder Nour El-Sayed, best known for his cannon-like shots, lets fly from distance but his effort goes high over. 3 Zamalek are awarded the first corner kick of the game but Ahly keeper Sherif Ekramy palms away the ensuing cross. 2 Ahly's left-back Sayed Moawad falls to the ground under a reckless challenge from Zamalek right-back Ahmed Samir, who is lucky to escape a yellow card.
