Then Saadi Redouani put USMA back in front with a header in the 37th minute, before Ahmed Khalidi, winner of the Best Player of the Match award, sealed the win with a wonderful left-footed shot from the edge of the penalty area into the far corner of the goal in the 55th minute.
It is noteworthy that the Capital Union won the Continental Super Cup for the first time in 2023 with a 1-0 victory over Al-Ahly of Egypt.
