The decisions followed the 133rd Cairo derby, which ended in a 2-0 victory for Al Ahly.

However, the discussion surrounding the match continued after the final whistle, as incidents on the pitch and offensive chants from supporters led to official disciplinary action.

Both clubs were fined EGP 100,000 each, while Ibrahim Salah received the remaining EGP 10,000 penalty.
