Third place in the 2020 edition of the Club World Cup, Al Ahly repeated the position in the 2021 dispute. Last year, the position was obtained on penalties, after a goalless draw with Palmeiras. This time, the Egyptian team ran over Al Hilal, from Saudi Arabia, at the Al Nahyan stadium in Abu Dhabi: 4-0.
The rout began to be built in the eighth minute of the first half, with a header by Yasser Ibrahim. Shortly after, at 14, the Brazilian Matheus Pereira committed a hard foul and was sent off, leaving the Asian champion one less. There, the African champion took advantage of his superiority to aggressively impose himself.
In the 17th minute, Ibrahim scored again with a header. And Al Hilal found themselves two players short from 28 onwards, when Mohammed Kanno got into trouble and got the red card. Still in the first half, at 40′, Ahmed Abdelkader completed a move in the small area to widen.
In the final stage, the team that was defeated by Palmeiras in the semifinal was content to manage the big advantage, taking the foot off the accelerator. Still, he swung the net once more, in the 19th minute, from a corner. Amr El Soulia finished from outside the area and closed the scoring in Abu Dhabi.
