Match Info:
Match K.O at 20:30 Cairo local time | 14:30 ET Canada-USA
1st leg : Sundowns 3-0 Zamalek
Venue: Alexandria’s Borg El-Arab Stadium (Egypt)
Referee: Bakary Papa Gassama (Gambia)
Zamalek, who host South Africa’s Mamelodi Sundowns in Alexandria on Sunday, are retaining a glimmer of hope to overturn a 3-0 first-leg deficit after being outplayed in a night to forget in Pretoria last week.
The away defeat was a bitter reminder of the team’s defensive frailties which almost cost them in the semi final when they conceded five goals at Morocco’s Wydad Casablanca in the second leg, only to sneak through 6-5 on aggregate after making the most of their counter-attacking abilities to score twice in Rabat.

They failed to net an away goal against Sundowns though and will be cautious not to ship any more goals that would render their mission almost impossible at Alexandria’s 86,000-seat Borg El-Arab Stadium.
