Zamalek was able to defeat Al-Masry with a clean goal, in the match that brought them together at Borg El Arab Stadium in the third round of the group stage of the African Confederation Cup.
Over the last 6 matches that brought together Zamalek and Al-Masry in all tournaments, the White Knight failed to achieve victory in either of them, and was defeated 4 times, and the best it achieved was a draw twice.
The two teams met in the Egyptian League a few weeks ago at Borg El Arab Stadium as well, and Al-Masry won with a clean goal at that time.
Because of that, in addition to the sudden departure of Zamalek’s former coach Jose Gomez, the match became extremely important for the White Castle and winning it became necessary.
Zamalek succeeded in breaking the Al-Masry complex thanks to its first star Ahmed Sayed Zizo, who scored a wonderful goal in the 63rd minute, securing the three points for the sons of Mit Okba.
