Amr Zaki scores twice to help Zamalek reach the Egypt Cup final for the first time since 2008.

Amr Zaki recalled glory days to score two brilliant goals, including a late one, as Zamalek defeated Haras El-Hodoud 2-1 on Saturday to reach the Egypt Cup final and continue their bid towards their first title since 2008. The Egyptian international, who is enjoying a new lease of life under coach Hassan Shehata following a lengthy injury-plagued spell, opened the scoring as early as the third minute.

Hodoud leveled the score through a goal from striker Ahmed Mekki seven minutes past the hour mark but Zaki sent the home fans into raptures when he netted the decisive strike five minutes from time following a brilliant individual effort.

Zamalek set up a re-match of the 2008 final as they will face ENPPI after the latter beat Arab Contractors on penalty shootout earlier in the day.
