The Egyptian club went ahead for the second time through a  free-kick from Noha Elsolh to end the first half with a 2-1 scoreline.

Equatorial Guinea’s Malabo Kings also had a 1-1 draw with AS Mande.

The 1-1 draw meant Malabo Kings picked the second slot ahead of Degla on the head-to-head rule as they both finished the group campaign on four points.
