The two teams previously agreed that the game will be prolonged to three halves as each was played for 45 minutes.

Zamalek went 3-0 up in the first half, thanks to goals from Hazem Emam (24), Amr Zaki (31) and Hani Saied (34).

Harouna Kone and Mohamed Zaki scored Military's goals on 65 and 120 minutes.

Former Ahli man Mostafa was praised by the attending fans for his performance in the game which also witnessed the introduction of Ivorian striker Marcel Adiko.

Adiko, who is currently on trial at Zamalek, did well after being brought on in the second half.

Similarly, the Ghanaian pair of striker Felix Baffoe and midfielder Ibrahim Ayew had a good debut for Michel Decastel's men.

Brazilian striker Anderson, whom Decastel earlier wanted to offload, didn’t have the best of games and was eventually booed by the fans.
