Egypt’s Al-Ahly lost his FIFA Club World Cup semi-final match to Bayern Munich with two goals to none.
Although the German club dominated the game in all respects, they settled for two goals in the club’s Al-Ahly range, which did not present the desired offer.
Pole Robert Lewandowski scored both goals for his side in the 17th and 86th minutes.
Al-Ahly did not come up with the offer many were waiting for, as it appeared to be backing sharply and did not pose a slight threat to Bayern despite being late with an early goal.
Bayern, on the other hand, had a lot of control of the ball, and the players passed it easily and created several chances for themselves, but they didn’t score due to his sponsorship of Rocco, who was replaced by the coach in the second half.
Al-Ahly will face Brazilian club Palmeiras in the third-place game of the tournament Qatar will host next Thursday.
The African continent champion qualified at the expense of Al-Duhail, Qatar, with a draw in the preliminary round or quarter-finals.
And according to the rules governing the tournament, the European champion will not participate in the preliminary round, Bayern Tigres of Mexico will meet in the final match.
The European champion aspires to be crowned in the seventeenth edition of the World Cup, especially after the exit of the Brazilian Palmeiras at the hands of the Tigress of Mexico with a goal for nothing in the first match of the semi-final Sunday.
The final match will take place on Thursday, the eleventh of this month.
Bayern are looking to repeat their feat in the 2013 edition, in which they beat Moroccan Raja with two clear goals.
History of the clashes between the two teams
This is not the first time that the Egyptian team have faced their German counterpart; They had already met in December 1977 in Cairo, where Al-Ahly beat his guests with two goals against one in a friendly match.
In that match, Al-Ahly’s top scorer at the time, Mahmoud Al-Khatib, scored his second goal against the European Cup champion for three consecutive years at the time.
The second meeting between the two clubs took place in 2012 in Qatar and ended with a 2-1 victory for the German team.
This is Al-Ahly’s sixth appearance at the Club World Cup, and it is the only Egyptian team to have played in this tournament.
Egyptian Zamalek was the first African team to qualify for this tournament in 2002, but the championship was canceled for marketing reasons.
Al-Ahly’s best appearance was at the Club World Cup 15 years ago in 2006 when they reached third place and won a bronze medal, but lost in the semi-finals to Brazilian champion Internacional.
And by beating Al-Duhail on the fourth of this month, Al-Ahly brought his score in the number of games won in his appearance in that cup to four out of 13 lost in the remainder.
Al-Ahly also increased his goal tally to 12, while the team conceded 22 goals, including five against Monterrey and four against another Mexican club, Pachuca.
Despite the health measures imposed by the Corona epidemic, the organizing body of the Club World Cup allowed supporters to attend matches.
