After winning the trophy for the first time in history last season, the Gold and Blood defeated ENPPI, Ismaily, El Dakhleya, Smouha, and Al Ittihad to reach another final this year. And in a repeat of 2023’s final when they put Al Masry to the cleaners with a 4-1 win, Ceramica Cleopatra overpowered their opponents with relative ease.
Nigeria’s Ebuka, who started in attack alongside Awujoola, got the ball rolling for the defending champions in the 13th minute with a precise finish past goalkeeper Mohamed Shaaban.
Ebuka’s opening goal set the tone for the match. Amadi’s assist was a highlight, demonstrating the team’s synergy. Awujoola’s defensive maneuvers prevented the opposing team from equalizing late in the game.
Ceramica Cleopatra suffered a setback late in the half when Karim Tarek equalized for El-Gaish but two goals in five second-half moments by Ahmed Belhadji and substitute Mohamed Toni won the day for the Giza-based club.
Ebuka, who joined Ceramica Cleopatra from ENPPI, and former Akwa United star Amadi were also part of the club’s maiden triumph last year.
The celebration of this victory is not just about lifting the trophy but also about the dedication, teamwork, and passion displayed throughout the tournament. Ebuka, Amadi, and Awujoola have etched their names in the club’s history, and Ceramica Cleopatra FC continues to inspire rising talents in Egyptian football.
