nothing much

these teams

Coton Sport players just aren't good enough to fool a referee. A certain skill is needed to play dirty, to wage the psychological war that is needed in a modern day final. Damon had it easy. Most Coton Sport fouls were just incompetence, a leg that was intended to be somewhere else.
Still Damon showed 5 yellow cards, maybe too many, I don't know, some were never shown by Egyptian television.

match

The main difference between a team like Al Ahly and one like Coton Sport is that Coton Sport looses a player as soon as he shows some footballing skills and Al Ahly actually buys players. Most Coton Sport players didn't show anything at all in this match, just shots very wide and crosses ending not even near the intended player (I wonder about these things: running full speed and hitting the ball is quite a feat, even for European top players. Do those shots normally arrive in Cameroon? If not why even try? And this was a final!).
Al Ahly started by checking every Coton Sport player, but they soon got tired and then nothing much happened.
