National Bank 1–0 Modern Sport (Agg. 3–0)
National Bank secured their place in the semifinals after completing a double over Modern Sport with a 1–0 victory in the second leg.
The only goal of the game came in the 17th minute when a defensive clearance from Modern Sport ricocheted off striker Osama Faisal and found its way into the net.
Having already claimed a 2–0 win away from home in the first leg, National Bank advanced with a 3–0 aggregate score.
They will now face the winner of the quarterfinal tie between Ceramica Cleopatra and Petrojet in the semifinal.
Tala’ea El Gaish 0–0 Ismaily (Ismaily win 5–4 on penalties)
In a narrow encounter at the Military Sports Authority Stadium, Ismaily edged past Tala’ea El Gaish via a 5–4 penalty shootout win to book their spot in the semifinals. Both legs had ended in goalless draws, forcing the tie into penalties.
El Gaish missed their fourth attempt in penalties, while Ismaily converted all five of their spot kicks.
Ismaily will meet the winner of the other quarterfinal tie between ENPPI and Haras El Hodoud in the semifinal. The two other quarterfinals will take place on Wednesday.
