ES Sétif, playing in front of their home fans, wanted to give their supporters something worth cheering and started to push forward more. Ahmed Kendouci gave them more reason to cheer when his powerful effort hit the underside of the crossbar and bounced into the back of the net on the stroke of halftime.

ES Sétif started the second half stronger as well and scored their second at the hour mark. Riad Benayad scored the second to give the home crowd more reasons to celebrate and a slight inkling of hope.

The home side looked like they would hang on for a win but Percy Tau once again found a telling through ball. The South African set up Mohamed Sherif in the 92nd minute for Al Ahly's equaliser.

The game ended 2-2 but Al Ahly won 6-2 on aggregate. They will now face Wydad Casablanca in the final at the end of the month.
