When you’re the best, and Al-Ahly are considered to be probably the most successful African side ever, losses are almost forbidden.So when you lose to underdogs and in a title decider, then you have to face severe consequences. HUGE FINE!!!Al Ahly boss Mahmoud El Khatib has imposed a 300 000 Egyptian pounds (R282 897) fine on each Al Ahly player, director of football and the coaching staff.This comes after Al Ahly lost the Egyptian Super Cup to El-Gaish on penalties last night.#FARPost pic.twitter.com/FwzSXDpwTa— FARPost_ZA (@FARPostZA) September 22, 2021 Despite being massive favourites in the Egyptian Super Cup finals against Tala’ea El-Gaish on Tuesday night, Cairo-based giants lost 3-2 after a dramatic penalty shootout. It was a goalless draw during the 90 minutes, albeit Al-Ahly created as many as 20 chances and shots on target. (1.75) SEVILLA (3.60) VALENCIA (4.90)Or if you prefer stats, that was 3,5 times more than their rivals. Moreover, the ball possession ratio was brutal – 71:29% for them. But the only thing that counts is goals, and there were none of them before the shootout.When it ended as it did, Tala’ea El-Gaish were exalted for the win, but Al-Ahly’s boardroom was exasperated.##EDITORS_CHOICE##They were so infuriated with the outcome that they decided to punish both players and technical staff. How serious they were, you’ll figure out once you find out they collected a sum of Ksh 1.2 million from each footballer, coach and others.Next time, they’ll fight even more to prevent unnecessary spendings, that’ for sure. Al Ahly have a better atmosphere in training than City have at the Etihad 😭😭😭pic.twitter.com/dF7FKbzN0z https://t.co/4bKlP2L20r— Yassin 🇪🇬 (@CFCYassin) September 20, 2021
