The 43-time Egyptian champions needed an own goal to win in the UAE. Emam Ashour bamboozled defenders to force an own goal from Justice Arthur.

With no goals between both sides, the game looked to be heading to extra time until deep into injury time when Emam Ashour showed sublime skill to get past defenders and force an own goal from Justice Arthur.

Tau was substituted after 65 minutes after failing to make an impact in the match. Al Ahly will face Modern Future FC in the final set to take place on Thursday, December 28.
