Africa Sports vs Zamalek SC live today on Sunday April 8th 2012 at 17:30 (EET) Egypt Time, the match will be live on Nile Sports.
The White Castle, Zamalek, will be hosted in Abidjan at 15:30 GMT (17:30 Cairo time) after the Egyptians asked for a two-hour delay to avoid playing in high temperatures.
Hassan Shehata, Egypt�s most successful manager, stressed the importance of defence during the team�s last training session on the opponent�s soil, since Zamalek will be able to qualify even if they are beaten by a one-goal difference.
Their home match was held in the Military Stadium behind closed doors where Benin striker Razak Omotoyossi scored the match�s solitary goal.
Shehata is expected to rely on Omotoyossi today who shined during training, while veteran midfielder Ahmed Hassan � the world�s most-capped player � will fill the playmaker position in the absence of star player Mahmoud Abdel-Razik “Shikabala.”
Right-winger Omar Gaber will replace injured Ahmed Samir, who travelled with the team to support them.
Even with fans’ support, the match won�t be easy for Africa Sports’ coach Joseph Antonio. The Italian coach would likely face sacking in the event of a defeat due to recent poor results by the team, who lost their last four domestic league matches.
