Leopards beat Zamalek 1-0 | Match Video Review

Zamalek lost 1-0 to Congo’s Leopards away from home, despite needing only a draw to book a Confederation Cup semi-final berth with two matches to go.

Striker Tresor Mukendi scored the winner for the hosts in the 61st minute, punishing Zamalek for missing some clear-cut chances – courtesy of some poor finishing from striker Bassem Morsi and newly-signed forward Mahmoud ‘Kahraba’.

Former Luzern man Kahraba, in particular, did not enjoy the best of Zamalek debuts having wasted two glorious opportunities with the goal gaping either side of Leopards’ goal.

The result meant that South Africa’s Orlando Pirates leapfrogged Zamalek into the top of Group B table on goal difference, as both teams are now level on nine points.

Zamalek will now need to take a point from their upcoming two games – a visit to Tunisia’s Sfaxien and a home fixture with Orlando Pirates.
