Al Ahly won the match 3–2 on penalties, after the original and extra time ended 1–1, winning their 37th Egypt Cup title. Since Al Ahly also won the 2019–20 Egyptian Premier League, Tala'ea El Gaish earned the right to play in the 2020–21 Egyptian Super Cup as the Egypt Cup runners-up.
Since the competition wouldn't finish by the CAF deadline (1 November 2020) for associations to submit participating teams in African competitions for the 2020–21 season, the spot awarded to the Egypt Cup winners (Confederation Cup preliminary or first round) was passed to the fourth-placed team in the 2019–20 Egyptian Premier League, Al Mokawloon Al Arab.
